The F-IRE Collective Large Ensemble on tour with
"Tales from London"
Under the musical direction of Nick Ramm, this tour features new music by Ramm, Ingrid Laubrock, Jonathan Bratoeff, Barak Schmool and Tom Arthurs.
A large brass section alongside a rhythm section forms the more conventional big band aspect of this ensemble. A closer look, however, reveals a bass clarinet, an extended percussion set-up, flute, two violins and two amazing female singers. The wonderful worldly voices of Heidi Vogel (The Cinematic Orchestra) and Marcina Arnold (Bheki Mseleku and English National Opera) feature in a big way.
The new work is titled 'Tales From London'. The composers have found ways to picture their pieces based on experiences they've had in their home town. F-IRE has always been identified closely with London, and this is an opportunity to put the inspiration and life of London directly back into one colourful and high-energy suite of music.
