Notes Inégales: ….Brew – The Miles Davis Project – 7:30 10 Dec 2011

Posted by surreyarts on September 6th, 2011

Notes Inégales are one of the most innovative new ensembles in London; described as ‘post fusion’ they draw on contemporary, free and jazz musics.

…brew is influenced by Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew. They have invited leading composers (including University of Surrey composers Tom Armstrong, Stephen Goss, Milton Mermikides and Matthew Sansom), to send them ‘postcards’ from Miles Davis and from these starting points they work a ‘brew’ of rhythm and sound into their own dark magic.

The results are spellbinding.

Posted by surreyarts on September 6th, 2011

Winners of the 2011 International ASITEJ Award for Artistic Excellence.

Spellbinding stories from the world’s saltiest stage!  In November 2009, eight performers from award winning theatre company New International Encounter (NIE) embarked on a 3500-mile voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from France to Guadeloupe aboard a cargo ship.

With the help of Icelandic novelist, poet and Björk lyricist Sjón, NIE create a lyrical and funny show combining their trademark mix of storytelling, physical theatre, live music, multiple languages and European ensemble.

Sail alongside a Second World War naval officer in the Indian Ocean and discover the story of Ella, the first ever Norwegian female trawler woman. These tales and more intertwine with NIE’s own experiences on their voyage.

Don’t miss your chance to see this European company as they moor up at the University’s PATS Studio.

One of the most popular student concerts in the calendar, in its short history this concert has outgrown PATS and Wates House, and has moved again, this time to the wonderful new performance space in the Ivy Centre.

We can’t describe an evening which might include folk music, rock and pop, cover versions and new works, experimental jazz, electronic improvisation, solo singer/songwriters…All that is certain is that it will be spectacular and eclectic.

Zoë Martlew Revue Z – 7:30 24 Nov 2011

Posted by surreyarts on September 6th, 2011

Unhinged, uncensored, underwired, a blonde, a cello, a mattress and a

lot of digital playback…..

Uproarious, moving, sexy, hilarious and utterly original entertainment by virtuoso cellist and former judge on BBC2 TV’s “Maestro” Zoë Martlew, featuring her original music for cello, voice and digital playback combined with zany theatre and comedy.

Entertaining, utterly off-the-wall, sensitive and at times extremely beautiful, this one-woman cabaret revue sweeps its audience from jazz funk to delicate string harmonics, Arabic lullaby to blues, minimalist intensity to shamanic thrash, soulful lyricism to serene baroque. Musical pieces vie with theatrical interludes, linked together by the shimmering virtuosity of Martlew’s cello playing laced with the extended techniques of the avant-garde. Live performance blends with multi-layered vocal, instrumental and computer sample recordings.

Tickets: £12, £10 senior citizens, University staff, £7 students, concessions
