SoundCellar

More SoundCellar associations with day 2 of NN North Sea Jazz Festival but the first video clip was the 'star' set of the day:

1. Nils Petter Molvaer was as fantastic as when I first saw him (in the UK and in Den Haag!) in 1998. Eivind Aarset & exceptional, as always

5. Another SoundCellar 'In Our Own Space' legend Camila Meza returning to NSJ 7 years after I first saw her here.

A fabulous offer for our SoundCellar followers from the amazing multi-genre Tree Of Strings festival (Tree of Strings) in Abbotsbury in West Dorset (3 -5 July).

Of particular note is the headline on Saturday 4th July, when the fantastic pianist Kit Downes , a SoundCellar visitor back in 2016, but now living in Berlin, makes a rare UK appearance with his ensemble Miré, including soprano Héloïse Werner & cellist Colin Alexander
