LIVE MUSIC RETURNS TO STOCKBRIDGE
7th August 7.30pm at St Peter's Church
Duo Bayanello - Iosif Purits, Accordion & Cecilia Bignall, Cello
with
Andrey Lebedev, Guitar
For our first post lockdown event we are thrilled to welcome one of the most exciting ensembles on the international music scene - Russian accordionist Iosif Purits, British cellist Cecilia Bignall (who make up Duo Bayanello), and Australian-Russian guitarist Andrey Lebedev. Together they are performers, collaborators, arrangers and composers who cross musical boundaries with virtuosity and flair.
Iosif, Cecilia and Andrey are all international artists in their own rights and no strangers to the most celebrated concert platforms across the world. As a trio they recently completed a 22-date tour across Russia and Siberia, and Duo Bayanello has broadcast live from the Southbank Centre on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ and featured on BBC2 Proms Extra.
The trio crosses musical boundaries with virtuosity and flair. Their exciting and varied programme ranges from Classical and Tango to Gypsy and Folk, featuring composers from all corners of the globe, including Piazzolla, Bloch, Rodrigo and de Falla.
Tickets: £18 to include a programme.
