SONGS ON FILM

Friday 17 February 8pm
The University of Southampton Music Department present the final event of a weekend of performances and workshops exploring musical loops. Leading jazz musicians Ivo Neame, Jasper Høiby and Jon Scott join the HARTLEY Loop Orchestra to perform a major revision of Benjamin Oliver’s Loop Concerto, alongside the world premiere of Andrew Fisher’s Piano Concertino, Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D (after J C Bach) in which Mozart loops a J C Bach Sonata, and Gavin Bryars’ 1972 seminal work Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet.
After two sell-out years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, internationally acclaimed singer, pianist and entertainer Joe Stilgoe finally takes his smash hit show on tour. SONGS ON FILM pays tribute to much-loved movies, as self-confessed film buff Joe raids his own collection and adds his original and stylish orchestrations to some of the most memorable moments in cinematic history. From Hollywood’s golden age to the classic films of the 80’s, to the work of Tarantino, Tati, Paramount and Pixar, Joe and his remarkable band perform songs written for and inspired by some of the greatest films of the last century.
A five-star international Gypsy jazz line-up as Mozes Rosenberg – the most recent guitar genius from the Rosenberg dynasty and younger brother of Stochelo – joins violin superstar Tcha Limberger and his trio. Born into a renowned Belgian family of Manouche musicians, Tcha grew up in a world of the Gypsy swing style of Django Reinhardt, and over the years he has collaborated with many of its leading performers, including the celebrated Fapy Lafertin. Put Tcha – a spectacular guitarist himself – on stage with Mozes Rosenberg and you have something close to Gypsy jazz royalty. Expect guitar mastery and swinging Reinhardt classics mixed with traditional western European Gypsy repertoire.
