Duke of George presents
Tales from the Orient
Presented by Michael Pignéguy & Mark Cain with The Awakenings Ensemble
Following the success of Michael and Mark’s first collaboration in 2021 the pair are re-uniting to bring a World Music focused show to the Duke of George. The aim of this musical partnership is to take audience members on a journey around the Orient featuring musical influences from Turkey to Persia. Original & traditional works will be presented alongside re-interpretations of music from other cultures allowing new musical conversations to take place. Michael (drums & percussion) and Mark (multi-reeds) will be joined by Esfandiar Shahmir (persian ney & vocals), Michael Edelby (Oud), Jeremy Greig (trombone), Peter Jeavons (bass) and Brodie Stewart (keyboards). Don’t miss this remarkable, musical collaboration!
