Pre-concert interview with Lucie Skeaping at 6.45pm
Lucie Skeaping and The Burning Bush
Lucie Skeaping (vocals, violin, rebab)
Ben Harlan (clarinets)
Roderick Skeaping (violin)
Robin Jeffrey (oud, laouto, darabukka, guitar)
Jon Banks (kanun, cymbalom, accordion)
Robert Levy (double bass)
Exuberance, defiance, celebration and ribald wit all come together on the emotional rollercoaster ride that is a Burning Bush performance.
Combining foot-tapping klezmer, exotic Arab-influenced dance music from the old Ottoman world and haunting, mystical ballads of the ghetto,
The Burning Bush cross cultural boundaries with their uninhibited brio in music both timeless and topical..
Featuring the amazing voice and sinuous violin of Lucie Skeaping and the breathtaking, unbridled virtuosity of clarinettist Ben Harlan,
this multi-talented sextet presents music that is impossible to resist whatever your background..
A magical journey into nostalgia, hope and joy..
'Burning Bush offers the original World Music where Europe, Africa and the Orient freely mingle'.
