Program
The pickpocket ensemble’s program consists of original instrumental songs, inspired by folk and cafe musics from around the world, from Parisian Bal Musette to Klezmer and Eastern European music to North African music and beyond. From all these inspirations we’ve created an intimate and evocative music all its own. We will perform 2 sets of pieces, some of which may sound familiar, all of which will be new to audiences who haven’t yet heard us. Titles and song information will be announced from the stage.
About pickPocket Ensemble
“Inspired by many world musical traditions, the pickPocket ensemble inhabit a country all their own. Original and fresh, the pickPocket ensemble create a contemporary chamber café music that moves both body and soul.
“To listen to the pickPocket ensemble is to embark on a journey. Speak to audience members after a performance: one will have been to Bogota, one to Prague, one to Paris. Yet for all its wide-ranging inspirations, the pickPocket ensemble’s music remains intensely personal and immediately engaging, an invitation to listen in on an intimate conversation.”
