SUMMARY:iyatraQuartet  performance
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ONLINE OR ON THE DOOR\nWe’re delighted that iyatraQuartet will be playing again at Sandy Hill Arts after their stunning performance last year\nDescribed as ‘one of the most exciting new music groups around at the moment’, iyatraQuartet are multi-instrumentalists who create original, boundary-bending and joyful music. Their distinct vocal harmonies emerge from a rich sound world of soaring strings, the exuberant lyricism of the bass clarinet and sensitive percussion abound with groove. Delving into generations-old European traditions for inspiration, including the work of 12th century pioneering female composers, iyatraQuartet re-imagine early music and stories through their unique contemporary twist. Taking their name after the Hindi word for travel or pilgrimage, the band embraces this sense of journey through place and time in their music.\nTheir debut album, This World Alone (2015), was praised by violinist Nigel Kennedy as ‘beautiful … full of space and truth’. In 2019, iyatraQuartet were recipients of the inaugural Kennedy-Kolodziejski Award and PRS Foundation’s Open Fund. Released in lockdown, their second album, Break the Dawn (2020), received critical international acclaim, including from Cerys Matthews, Folk Radio UK and Max Reinhardt.\nThis concert is part of a tour for the release of iyatraQuartet’s 3 rd album, Wild Green. Wild Green traces the cycle of the year celebrating the natural world in all its beauty\nand wildness. Many of the tracks were devised outdoors, encompassing stormy seas,the vivid greenness of late spring, a full strawberry moon, midsummer energy and a yuletide lullaby.\n\n \nPhoto credit: Gerard Collett \nAlice Barron – violin, vox\nRich Phillips – cello, vox\nWill Roberts – percussion, vox\nGeorge Sleightholme – bass clarinet, vox\n“Absolutely beautiful”-  Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music\n“Melding their classical roots with dynamic traditional and improvised music”- Hannah Peel, BBC Radio 3\n“Break the Dawn exists as a complex, stunningly-performed artefact that offers a little hope in dark times”  – Thomas Blake, Folk Radio\n“…stunning fusion… a deep and subtle inner journey in sound” – Songlines\n“The music is absolutely packed with a feeling of exploration” – Sarah Ward, Jazz FM\n \n
