THE MARAIS PROJECT - Nordic Moods & Baroque Echoes (SOLD OUT)
UPDATE - THIS EVENT NOW SOLD OUT
Presented in association with Musica Viva Australia and the Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
Everything Nordic is in vogue - novels, films, television and now, music!
Building on their commitment to performing and recording Scandinavian baroque and folk music, The Marais Project has a new collaboration with leading Swedish duo Catalina Langborn (baroque violin) and percussionist Olof Wendel, who plays the rarely heard cimbalom.
Catalina is one of the most sought-after Baroque violinists and concertmasters in Sweden. She regularly performs with, and leads, celebrated ensembles such as Drottningholms Barockensemble and Göteborg Baroque. She is also an expert on, and composes, Swedish folk music. Olof has a similarly distinguished career having worked with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Gothenburg Symphony, the Royal Opera and a range of cutting-edge improvised music groups.
Viola da gambist, Jenny Eriksson – whose grandfather was Swedish - and Swedish-born lutenist/guitarist Tommie Andersson, have been bringing Scandinavian music to Australian audiences for more than a decade.
They are joined by singer/violinist (and Wauchope Arts regular/favourite), Susie Bishop, who speaks (and sings!) Swedish.
The Marais Project’s upcoming project titled 'Nordic moods and baroque echoes' combines Swedish folk music, works from the baroque, and several original compositions/arrangements by group members.
This collaboration is literally a ‘one off’ - not to be missed (and likely to sell out)!
