Fran and Flora at Sandy Hill Arts
Details
Multi-award-nominated experimental/folk duo Fran & Flora are looking forward to performing for the first time on May 4th 2024.
They captivate audiences with their reinventions of traditional Eastern European melodies and songs. Francesca Ter-Berg (cello/vox) and Flora Curzon (violin/vox) draw inspiration from archival recordings, recovered manuscripts and studying with traditional masters, infusing source material with drones, loops, free improvisation and electronics to create a ‘border-defying’ aesthetic (Mojo).
Fran & Flora released their 2nd studio album Precious Collection on Hidden Notes Records in April 2024 to critical acclaim with responses including a 4 star review from the Guardian ‘Folk Album of the Month’ in April 2024 (“time-travels brilliantly between solid folk origins and avant garde play with a surprise at every corner”, Jude Rogers), a 4 star review in Jazzwise, (“impressive musicianship and creative originality”, Tony Benjamin).
The duo has performed across the UK and beyond, including Kings Place (Songlines Encounters), Cafe Oto, Hidden Notes, Between the Lines Festival, Shambala, EFG London Jazz Festival, Smugglers Festival, Shtetl Neukolln (Berlin), Ancienne Belgique (Brussels), Casa Del Popolo and KlezKanada (Montreal).
They have been supported by PRS Women Make Music, Help Musicians, BBC Introducing and Arts Council England.
