Toronto-based improviser Karen Ng (saxophone) has established herself as a unique musical force nationally and internationally. Whether encountering her on tour with renowned artists or in an intimate venue in Berlin, audiences have come to know her distinctive tone and remarkable offerings in a variety of contexts. Over the last 15 years Ng has performed with some of Canada’s most prized artists (The Weather Station, Andy Shauf,
Do Make Say Think) and collaborates regularly with ad hoc ensembles in the wider improvising scene across Canada, in Europe and the US. 

LCON is the ever-evolving project of Lisa Conway - a Swiss-Canadian sonic adventurer, songwriter, composer, researcher, recordist, and mixer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Her work is often minimalist, and blends analog synthesizers, tape machines, and electronics with acoustic instruments. Lisa is an alumni of the final Red Bull Music Academy (Berlin 2018), with recent album releases on Toronto labels Halocline Trance and Idée Fixe. She has received press from publications like Musicworks (cover fall 2025), The Fader, the CBC, BOMB Magazine, Exclaim, and Earmilk, and has collaborated on works presented at TIFF, the D'Haus (Dusseldorf), MaerzMusik (Berlin), The Harbourfront Centre, Hot Docs, and the Inside Out Festival. A graduate of the MA in Sonic Arts from Queen’s University Belfast, she is currently pursuing a SSHRC-funded Individualized PhD in Fine Arts (sound studies) at Concordia University.
