FRIDAY - The Savage Five at Duncairn Arts Centre @ 7:30pm:
Charismatic Belfast-born soprano and jazz singer Suzanne Savage collaborates with string ensemble the Savage Five to create genre-defying songscapes that weave Irish music traditions with a range of dynamic musical styles.
The Savage Five comprise Hugo Smit (Cello), Alwyn Thomas Westbrooke (Violin), Rachel Yates (Viola) and Sven Otte (Double bass). Citing influences as broad as Cole Porter, Björk and Bartók, the ensemble shift from delicately arranged stillness to full-blooded whirling dervish.
Add to this the unmistakable influence of Irish music and Suzanne Savage?s distinctive, crystalline voice that speaks of a deep connection to the landscape, life and love.
