Music & Place: Belonging

While the musicians trace the history of the relationship between oud and lute, reimagine Bach, Satie and Ligeti in diverse ways and the whole ensemble sweeps us aways with jazz and improvisation, we consider in what kind of music an instrument belongs and how it can be transposed in a dialogue between cultures and genres. At the same time poets from Holborn Community Association and Star students from Birkbeck University in dialogue with the musicians, bring us powerful and beautiful writing stimulated by the thought of 'belonging'.
