This season's event will have a Middle Eastern vibe, performing with Melange in RHB 167
Melange were formed by jazz and world music cellist Shirley Smart on returning from 10 year sin Jerusalem playing and studying the musics of the region, Melange seamlessly blend popular North African rai and chaabi songs, Gnawa music of the South Moroccan desert, exotic Middle Eastern and Turkish melodies and improvisations, Central Asian folk melodies, and across to the fiery Tango of Argentina and the street Choro, and warming bossa nova grooves of Brazil with jazz-infused improvisations into their own unique sound and take on traditional repertoire.
Goldsmiths [big] string is a groove based string ensemble under the direction of cellist Shirley Smart. The ensemble focuses on feel and articulation with an aural approach (all music is learnt from memory).
