Naked Footprints
The Dave Hassell-Andy Scott Duo, comprising tenor saxophonist Andy Scott and percussionist Dave Hassell, recently undertook an adventurous collaboration with Mexican percussionist Evaristo Aguilar and photographer William Ellis. Travelling deep into the Mexican rainforest, the quartet embarked on a journey that would take them to Las Pozas, home to the late English eccentric and surrealist architect, Edward James. The group spent several days playing and recording in the beautiful and dangerous surroundings of Las Pozas, described as a “surreal Eden”, with its soaring edifices of coloured concrete, enormous sculptures of hands, serpents and exotic flowers, and grand parapets in the sky. They then returned to Tampico to record the CD Naked Footprints, featuring musical improvisations based on the different sculptures. The group is reforming specially for this UK tour, and the concert will feature music from the CD accompanied by projected images of Las Pozas.

Tom Norris album launchTuesday 23 February 2010
Tom Norris
Tom Norris has decided to take a sabbatical from his job as a principal violinist in the LSO, and leave the classical music world for a while. His time out has given him the chance to explore other genres and take up a number of eclectic instrumental projects. His first solo album, 'Edge of the World' is the worthy result of these exciting musical exploits. Tom's poetic lyrics effectively combine with pop elements, acoustic beats and lush string arrangements producing rich, dramatic sounding songs.

Fibonacci Sequence
Kathron Sturrock and Julian Farrell, both founder members of the acclaimed ensemble The Fibonacci Sequence, join forces with soprano Ann Mackay for a short recital, starting appropriately with Purcell's 'Music for a While', and finishing with Schubert's delectable 'Shepherd on the Rock'. At the heart of the programme, works by Finzi and Lutoslawski for clarinet and piano embrace songs by Mozart and Strauss: Ann Mackay, early in her career, appeared in Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's classes, where Kathron was the regular accompanist...these songs bring back to them wonderful memories of working with 'Madame'. The Fibonacci Sequence has a wide-ranging discography, and the next release will be the Schubert Octet, for Deux-Elles, with violinist Jack Liebeck and Julian Farrell leading the ensemble.

A maker of delicate yet stubborn songs; an instinctive traveler; a human scrapbook - kirsty mcgee has become something of a cult figure on the uk songwriting scene. Her songs are the soundtrack to a colorful patchwork of experience, and attest to a unique life full of paradoxical quirks and actions from the heart, sung by a voice just that little bit too pure to have seen what she has seen. It is just one of the many ironies that surround her eccentric past and qualify her to write and perform music of such rich integrity and sincerity. Kirsty performs today at the Forge with her trio.

Pantagruel
Formed in 2002, Pantagruel have been delighting audiences across Europe with their semi-staged performances of renaissance music, bringing to life the passionate music of a distant age. Pantagruel, with his motto “do what thou wilt” is the fitting name for an ensemble that is not afraid to explore innovative ideas of performance and presentation. Combining painstaking musicological research with their experience in classical music, rock music, jazz, theatre and dance, their performances expand classical concert conventions by using renaissance practices of medley, improvisation and gesture.
Taking as its title the Elizabethan Michael Drayton’s poem “Nymphidia, the court of Fairy”, Pantagruel’s programme explores the fantastical and supernatural aspects of Elizabethan and Jacobean musical life featuring music by John Dowland, Thomas Ravenscroft, Robert Jones, Francis Pilkington and Robert Johnson.

Amphion Consort 'Bach's Chaconne and Corelli's Violin'
Jennifer Bennett (baroque violin) and Yair Avidor (theorbo)
Jennifer Bennett plays the celebrated D minor partita for unaccompanied violin with its monumental concluding ciaccona. This masterpiece preserved in a manuscript bearing the date 1720 was never published in Bach's lifetime. It has since inspired numerous arrangements for various instruments but will be played here in its most authentic form: on baroque violin using gut strings and historic bow.
Also included are two sonatas for violin and continuo taken from Arcangelo Corelli's ground-breaking collection of 12 sonatas published in Rome in 1700 as op.5. It became one the the 18th century best-sellers and has remained firmly in the repertoire ever since.
