Rise! Songs against War for Peace
*AN EVENING OF EPIC SONGS FOR EPIC TIMES.*
Songs against War, for Peace, for Human Rights, songs against Racism and Fascism.
RISE! is a new six-piece band built around the beautiful alto voice of Greek singer Iris Mavraki.
RISE! explores and celebrates the idea of the epic political song, drawing on traditions ranging from Turkey to the Americas, from Northern Italy to Russia, featuring songs by Mikis Theodorakis Ennio Morricone, Bertold Brecht, Hans Eisler Jack Warshaw, Nazim Hikmet, Zulfi Livaneli, Brendan Behan, Joan Baez, Aidan Jolly, and others.
We will take you on a stirring and inspiring journey through a multi-lingual culture of social commentary and resistance.
This is music for the head, heart and soul.
RISE! also features Carol Donaldson on piano and voice,
Clive Hunte on bass, Aidan Jolly on guitar, bouzouki, saz, symphonie and voice, Jaydev Mistry on percussion,
and Alice Nicolay on clarinet and sax.
There will be food on offer from Bread in Common and Bar!
