The Marais Project: Collusion at the Con: Preview

For the Marais Project’s next concert COLLUSION, Artistic Director Jennifer Erickson has invited along singer and violinist, Susie Bishop and pianist and piano accordionist, Emily-Rose Šárkova to join her in what is going to be an amazing adventure. 

“Young performers of the caliber and versatility of Susie and Emily-Rose are a rarity”, Eriksson stated, “Classically trained here and in Europe, but equally at home across a range of genres including tango, world music and modern folk, they are part of a talented new generation of musicians who are renewing and re-vitalising fine music.”

Many music lovers will know Emily-Rose and Susie from world music group, “Chaika” and leading tango ensemble, “Tangalo”.  This very special musical “collusion” will feature a new arrangement of Marin Marais for viol and piano accordion by Emily-Rose, music by Rodrigo, Cliff Kerr, Handel and Monteverdi with dramatic dialogue from actor Eliska Sarka.  The full musical conspiracy will be revealed on August 24!
