FUZE Orchestra
with Pallmer

Pallmer is an experimental chamber-pop trio based in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  Drawing from their backgrounds in classical music and sound art, Pallmer stands out for their ability to transcend genre and standard instrumentation, with Emily Kennedy on cello & vocals, Mark Kleyn on viola, and Charles Harding on synthesizers. 

The band released their debut album “Swimming” in January 2024 with praise from Cups n Cakes Mag stating the album “stands tall as their best release by far, a cohesive and compelling album that can’t help but transport the listener through memory, imagination, and back to the present, quiet moment.”  The title track “Swimming” won Song of the Year at the 2024 MNB Awards. The album was nominated for a 2024 MNB Award for Recording of the Year, and the single Freshet was nominated for a 2024 ECMA Fusion Recording of the Year.
