大象传媒

Fusing American jazz and traditional folk with her trademark French flair, violinist and composer Fiona Monbet joins 大象传媒 NOW in our first CoLaboratory of the 23/24 season.

Opening with a programme inspired by French Burlesque of the 20s and 30s, the composers Jacques Ibert, Erik Satie, Germaine Tailleferre and Darius Milhaud all had one thing in common, alongside their more traditional compositions, they were all great early film music writers, so it is no wonder their music is so roaringly vivid and pleasantly picturesque.

For the second half we leave France and voyage to the jazz drenched streets of New York, and another glittering film composer, Leonard Bernstein, with his Three Dance Episodes from On the Town, before experiencing the world premiere of Fiona Monbet鈥檚 new work for violin, double bass, piano, drum kit and orchestra.

With 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall set up in cabaret style, bring your drink in and enjoy this concert up close and personal.
