FIKA' is the new album by electric viola da gamba ensemble Elysian Fields. Inspired by Scandinavia- 'FIKA' is rooted in the Swedish ancestry of Artistic Director Jenny Eriksson- and her love of northern European jazz and Swedish baroque music. This beautiful international project sings to the gathering of friends- food and conversation through the idiosyncratic viola de gamba. Produced by saxophonist Matt Keegan and featuring the stunning vocals and violin of Susie Bishop- 'FIKA' takes inspiration from the frozen landscapes of Scandinavia- drawing on traditional folk music and language.Susie Bishop (voice-violin) Matt Keegan (saxophones) Jenny Eriksson (electric viola da ga gamba) Matt McMahon (piano) Siebe Pogson (bass guitar) Dave Goodman (drums)Special Support: Jo TrumanJosephine Truman is an artist skirting the boundary of tradition and experimentation. Her cross-pollination of traditional and experimental performance styles caught the ear of legendary composer- theorist and artist John Cage- with whom she collaborated on 'Song Books'. Fans of music that tests the edges of improvisation and experimentation will love Jo Truman's performance. Covid-safe measuresDo not attend if you are feeling unwell.
