World and folk music linked with influences from Africa and India coming to the Apex

There’s a concert of World and Folk music, fused with classical, African, Celtic and Indian influences coming to the Apex next week.

The “Freedom to Roam” project includes a genre-defying album “The Rhythms of Migration”, and a documentary by multi-award-winning director Nicholas Jones.

The resulting music and film explores climate change, environmental destruction, rewilding and human migration, while inspiring hope and a positive way to cherish the planet.

Folk Radio described “The Rhythms of Migration” as an outstanding album saying” “If academics, or others, wished to exemplify the power and ability of music to touch and affect the range of human emotions, then they need look no further than this release.”

The concert features flautist Eliza Marshall, who has worked with Peter Gabriel, Sir Paul McCartney and The Divine Comedy; harpist Catrin Finch who has topped the UK Classical charts and was also nominated for a Classical Brit Award; violinist Jackie Shave who has been a guest leader with many of the UKs leading orchestras and was appointed leader of Britten Sinfonia in 2005; and guitarist Dónal Rogers

The accompanying documentary focusses on how nature and humanity are deeply interconnected and weaves them together with music from “The Rhythms of Migration” album.

“Freedom to Roam” will be at the Apex on Tuesday, February at 22, 7.30pm, see www.theapex.co.ukor ring 01284 758000 for more information or to book tickets.
