The Gathering Quartet
Live Album Recording
(Sat 5 Apr: 7:30pm)
Join a live album recording for The Gathering Quartet, a brand-new European traditional string group. The performance will be the product of their first week-long exchange of music from Ukraine, Scotland, England and Sweden.
With the increasing pressures on communities across Europe, The Gathering Quartet aim to use the force of their decade-long creative relationships to musically transcend cultural and political boundaries, and inspire cross-cultural understanding. They hope to encourage others in peaceful exploration of their own common roots through traditional music, and how this has collectively shaped our cultures across Europe. Having played together in various guises over the years, these musicians will come together for the first time in a special traditional string quartet line up to experiment with new arrangements of old tunes and their own compositions.

Olena Yeremenko - fiddle
(Ukraine)
Luisa Brown - fiddle, octave fiddle (Scotland)
Louis
Bingham - guitar, bouzouki, cittern, mandolin (England)
Mats
Nystam - bouzouki, mandolin (Sweden)
