SUMMARY:Finding Balance Album Launch/Live Concert Recording - Alex Boot
DESCRIPTION: \nI’m really excited to present and record my debut solo album\, Finding Balance. This project draws on influences from modern jazz\, hip-hop\, fusion and cinematic soundscapes. The work will be performed by a six-piece jazz ensemble featuring Cameron Pearce\, Nick Pitts\, Sam McKay\, Luke Belcher\, and Cameron Finlay. The music shifts between energetic\, groove-driven passages and more spacious and atmospheric moments. \nI want my album Finding Balance to reflect the journey so many people go through at high-pressure moments in our careers\, and how we manage and deal with navigating both internal and external pressure. Writing this album during the final year of my Bachelor of Music has been a journey of many highs and lows\, and I hope the emotions I felt during this time are reflected through the music. \nAs an audience member\, you become part of the professional recording. The energy\, interaction and spontaneity between the musicians and the audience being captured in the recording is what makes this a performance you cannot miss. \n**The Piano – Phillip Carter Family Concert Hall\n8th of November 2026\nDoors 4:30 pm\nShow 5 pm\nKoha entry/supporter tickets available** \nSupporter tickets available:\n🥉 Bronze\nSupport towards the recording of Finding Balance\n🥈 Silver\nSupport the recording of Finding Balance & get early digital album access.\n🥇 Gold\nSigned CD\, early album access & your name in the supporter acknowledgements. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards the production of the album. \nThe project is supported by The Piano’s Bronwyn Bijl Scholarship and the Ara Foundation. \nMy name is Alex Boot\, and I’m a Christchurch-based saxophonist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer currently completing a Bachelor of Music (Jazz Performance) at Ara Music Arts. My recent performance credits include the Symposium Big Band\, Sambolero\, Silver Locks\, Caja Duo and Sandfly at Rhythm & Alps. \nAs a versatile reed player\, I have worked across a range of recent theatre productions\, including Ben McDonald’s Judy’s Encore\, Showbiz Christchurch’s Jersey Boys and Enchanting Productions’ Sweet William.
