The Winemakers is a strikingly atmospheric 70 capacity candle-lit stone arch in the vaults of Holborn Viaduct, attached to the Winemakers Club, an independently run wine and craft beer bar.
New Roots presents an evening of new composition in what’s establishing itself as an exciting new movement in ensemble chamber music. Contemporary classical, western art music, jazz, world music and folk combine with a d.i.y. indie attitude. Musicians of the highest calibre are blurring boundaries and disciplines to create a new, highly accessible form, applying superb energy, verve and startling originality to create a whole new genre.
Iyatra Quartet draw on a diverse range of musical styles, rhythms and melodies from around the world to create their sound. With backgrounds in classical, jazz, Cuban, Brazilian and Indian music, they combine Indian raga with contemporary rhythms, plainchant with extended percussion techniques, and many more influences to create a unique collection of musical experiences.

This collaboration between Filipe Sousa (Portugal) and Jonathan Ang (Singapore), explores and pushes the boundaries of the piano/keyboard whilst seamlessly blending acoustic and electronic sound. Drawing influences from their myriad of travel destinations, Sousa & Ang play on the precepts of rhythm and harmony, blending musical characteristics from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, whimsically translating them onto the piano, melodica, rhodes and synthesizers.
