The Nimmons Tribute consists of former students, colleagues, friends and family of Phil Nimmons who have come together to honour Phil through his music.
"Generational is inspired by the interconnectedness of our collective human family tree. In music and life itself, we hear the echoing voices of those who have come before us. By contributing our own voices to this dialogue, we join in an ongoing conversation that is united through our shared humanity, and further enriched by the unique quality of each new voice that joins in. Through careful listening and our own honest expression, we can honour our intergenerational similarities and differences, participating in the ever-evolving conversation of life."
