SUPERCHARGED HARPSICHORD & ELECTRIC FIDDLE ...

St Oswald’s Church, Mayfield Road, Ashbourne DE6 1AS

Tuesday 29 June 2010 7.30pm £12 no concessions

 

 

 

The lightning skills of two world recognised virtuosi combine to provide an evening of lyrical depth and structured fury.

 

The equivalent of putting a rocket engine into a Morris Minor, the supercharged harpsichord combines with the most contemporary of electric fiddles to create a vibrant and dynamic soundscape: apparent polar opposites amalgamate to produce driving rhythms, pulsing grooves, ethereal beauty and hints of Hendrix.

 

Two instruments from across the ages in unlikely union deliver music inspired as much by old Europe as ultra-cool Icelandic chic; bluenote jazz as funk; 70's prog-rock as fado.

 

Prepare yourself for a uplifting evening from these uniquely creative composer performers...
