Meet
Becky Reesor
Becky Reesor's music ignites the senses. It stops time—brings you to your soul, body and psyche. Canadian classical-crossover pianist, she envelops you in genre-blending sound, image and narrative with influences of folk, electronic and jazz flavoring her classical core.
Listener's say it's "an escape from the noise of the outside world;" it "brings peace amidst the chaos."
Her latest album, tour and piano book, Stop the Clock (2023), captures fleeting moments in and alongside the natural world, both dark and light. Stage highlights across Ontario and Quebec include the Hudson Music Festival, Conrad Grebel University College and the esteemed Oasis Musicale Concert Series in Montreal.
As a child, Reesor simply played at the piano. Curiosity, frustration or joy, she found patterns and melodies to let her energy out through notes. This spark found purpose when a cherished professor transformed her perception of music--from notes and rhythms to an organic, living force that can evoke images, feelings and ideas. Music is now a spiritual practice for Reesor: "The best way to positively impact the world is to deepen our understanding of ourselves and our surroundings,” she believes, "and music is a great tool for doing that."
Now, through every performance, Reesor invites listeners into that same space of discovery. Her goal is not just to share sound, but to help her audience feel more connected: to themselves, to others, and to life.
"It's just really beautiful. The music, the projections, the words… the whole thing." - Esther-Ruth Teel/Oasis Musicale
Her upcoming collection and collaboration, Felt, Not Said (2027), is a piano and video journey digging into the heart and gut of human experience.
