Mary Halvorson's newest ensemble, Canis Major, made its debut in early 2025 with two-night stands at the Jazz Gallery and Close Up, and further announced its presence by headlining the fourth night of the Vision Festival. This quartet performs an entirely new book of her original music written specifically for this line-up, which is her first opportunity to work with both Henry Fraser and Dave Adewumi.

Mary Halvorson is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer and recording artist for Nonesuch Records. Her distinctive sound and innovative approach to her instrument have earned her widespread recognition over the past two decades, including numerous best-of-the-year lists, a 2019 MacArthur Foundation fellowship and Guitarist of the Year honors in the DownBeat Critics Poll for the past nine years. When not leading her own award-winning bands, she can be heard in a wide variety of creative partnerships and on more than 75 releases as a co-leader or sidewoman.
