Karen Van Schaik ‘HU !’

HU ! is a jazz sextet that challenges todays’ unconscious gender biases and the fact that there are still so few female jazz instrumentalists (only 5% jazz instrumentalists are female). HU ! plays with the traditional roles of musical instruments, transforms relatable situations from daily life into music and brings to the table (sometimes fragile) subjects with musical pieces like « High Pitched Voices Often Get Interrupted », « Jeans With Tiny Pockets and Toothpaste for Men », « Circlusion » and « Ballad For The Frozen Eggs. » By using the power of music and humour, HU ! is a friendly invitation to question our unconscious gender biases ! Let’s all be HU ! HU !
