ANNABELLE CHVOSTEK
24min | English | Igal Hecht
Annabelle Chvostek is a Canadian singer-songwriter, composer and producer whose musical achievements range from folk to jazz to indie pop. Her latest album String of Pearls is a cross-cultural collaboration between Canadian and UruguaȀan musicians that pushes the boundaries between the worlds of Folk and Swing, evoking the grittiness of 1930s tango, Berlin cabaret and Hot Club Jazz.
In 2015, Annabelle was forced into a slower and quieter pace due to a series of health crises, including an ongoing struggle with severe hearing loss and tinnitus in her left ear triggered by a feedback blast during a soundcheck in England in 2008. In Path to Creation, we follow Annabelle’s journey from career-crippling hearing loss to becoming the artist-in-residence at Toronto's community-based Echo Women's Choir.
