Musicking is the verb for engaging in music, and musicking is a lovely evening curated by musician, curator and radio host Francis Moore.

On the night I will present two solo work-in-progress works: Transitions and Trees/Humans and then I’ll join forces with singer, composer and improviser Miryam Solomon for some duos…I am truly looking forward to it. Come along!

Inspired by the work of organisations like Mutual Mentorship for Musicians and the words of Shanta Nurullah at the latest This Is A Movement talk.

I curated a women composers’ recital at The City Academy Hackney in which I teach singing and lead senior choir. This is the first women composer celebration ever hosted in the school and it will include pieces by contemporary jazz artists (many included in the 2022 New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets by Women Composers by Berklee Press), classical composers from the 18th century and hip hop artists from the 2000s. Among them: Shunaji, Tomeka Reid, Little Simz and more…

I will perform a piece by contemporary vocalist-composer Sara Serpa together with the musicians: Liz Jones, Sophie Ali, Hannah Monkhouse, Meghan Marshall and Harriet Crawford.

The event will be held at the school at 16:30.

Francesca Naibo (guitar) and I will present Opal at Vortex Jazz Club in London. Our set will be followed by two amazing London based musicians Maria Chiara Argirò (piano) and Bruno Heinen (piano)

Known as RUN, Giacomo Bufarini is a London based Italian artist whose works can be seen adorning streets from China to Senegal. RUN is interested in street art as a language of communication. His recognisable style shows a level of detail and complexity rarely seen in street art today, evidenced through his vivid rendering of interlocking bodies in symbolic poses, pattern like, friezes in bright, arresting colours.

Simone Baron is a polyglot pianist, accordionist, improviser and composer whose work “ego-less, genre agnostic and without expectations” (JazzTimes) engages curiously and charismatically with a broad spectrum of experimental idioms. Educated at Oberlin and Tel Aviv University and joyfully de-educated at festivals and performances across Europe and the Americas, Simone has won grants, fellowships and residencies from Chamber Music America, South Arts, Maryland State Arts Council, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Hambidge Center, i-Park Foundation, Strathmore Foundation, ArtOMI, UMD, Avaloch Farm, the Banff Centre, and Spectrum Toronto.

Maurizio Ravalico is a percussionist, improviser, composer and indefatigable searcher of the sound hidden inside inanimate things. Based in London since 1991, he has toured and recorded with, among others, Jamiroquai, Paul McCartney, James Taylor, Jesus Alemani, Snowboy, Alex Wilson, Dennis Rollins, Greg Osby, Kaidi Tatham, Dego McFarland, Finn Peters, John Edwards, Steve Beresford, Orphy Robinson, Rowland Sutherland, Oren Marshall, Shabaka Hutchings, Andrea Parkins, Dele Sosimi, Tamar Osborn’s Collocutor and the choreographers Lea Anderson, Bill T. Jones, Maja Garcìa, Jane Turner and Laura Simi. His most recent projects area solo percussion album, entitled “Nobody’s Husband, Nobody’s Dad”, and the creation of “The Loud Atlas” a duo piece for one percussionist and one dancer, produced with the Normandy-based company Silenda.

Tasos Stamou is an electroacoustic music composer and performer, alternative electronic music instrument maker, tutor and sound technologist. During a decade of sound performances and recordings, Tasos Stamou has developed a unique style of live electroacoustic music composition. Long and continuous pieces are created in situ using a “portable electroacoustic music studio”. His work explores the space between ancient and contemporary transcendental music, using both traditional and advanced media. His gear consists of acoustic (prepared strings, reeds, recorders, objects) and electronic instruments (self-made electronics, modular synthesizer system and live processed feedback loops). Based on sustained tonal textures and free improvised instrumental solos, his live compositions create a particular and unique atmosphere of ritual noise.

At Hundred Years Gallery Ruth Goller and Maddalena Ghezzi are presenting their work inspired by South Tyrol plateau's, Seiser Alm, where Ruth was born and Maddalena has a deep connection to. Using improvisation and video they are aiming to create a sonic map of the Dolomite paths that they have both walked on many times.

Durante il 2020/21 la band abbiamo composto il nostro secondo album, ora nelle fasi finali di produzione. L'album è ispirato al continuo oscillare tra una dimensione personale, solitaria e meditativa, e la forza che scaturisce dall'interazione tra individui.

FUWAH è costituita dalla cantante Maddalena Ghezzi, il bassista Luca Pissavini, il sassofonista Filippo Cozzi e il batterista Fabrizio Carriero. 

Il nostro primo album è Eŭropo: sen limoj (Europa senza confini), un album in 8 lingue con testi scritti da 8 donne sul tema Europa. L’album racconta un’immagine dell’Europa contemporanea dal punto di vista di 8 donne in un viaggio umano senza confini. Abbiamo presentato Eŭropo: sen limoj al Southbank Centre di Londra. La traccia Grekio e’ stata trasmessa nello show Prospettive Musicali di Radio Popolare. 

Come and listen to our new album composed during the pandemic and in the process of being recorded.

You can listen to our previous album, Eŭropo: sen limoj, on all platform and below.

For 8 weeks I have been meeting weekly with this amazing group of musicians and on April 6th we are sharing the creative work we did during this 8 week long workshop led by Sara Serpa.
