ROSABELLA GREGORY
Award-winning artist-composer Rosabella Gregory returns to Zédel, following last years sold out headline show and 3 packed performances of "City Stories".
Expect the unexpected from a musician who dances in and out of
genres; collaborating with the likes of Bob James, James Phillips
(City Stories), and Anoushka Shankar, arranging for
virtuoso musicians Bernhard Schimpelsberger and Soumik Datta, and
composing full-length works for the likes of mezzosoprano Sinéad
O'Kelly (National Opera Studio), and Musical
Theatre's Caroline Sheen. One of ten composers selected for The
Canales Project #HearHerSong initiative she has just returned from
playing her commissioned piece at Joe's Pub in New York.
Champions of Gregory's music include Radio 2's "Whispering Bob" Harris, Grammy-winning producer Russ Titelman and TV/ radio presenter Penny Smith.
For her own voice, Rosabella reserves an intimate musical language, enriched with folk, jazz, and shades of Indian classical. A storyteller at heart, Gregory's songs are thoughtprovoking observations of the world; poignant, playful, arresting and raw.
"piano detail as elegant as classic architecture" - Paul Sexton, music journalist and broadcaster
"ebullient piano riffs with just the right amount of cagy menace" - Rob Crossan, BBC
