Gig Description
Lucy Wise Trio are thrilled to announce they will be returning to Sydney to support Syndey-based world music group Chaika and The Pickpockets & Rascals Orchestra in concert at The Basement.
Chaika take their name from the Bulgarian word for ‘seagull’. Blending four female and two male voices with clarinet, violin, piano, accordion, double bass, guitar and percussion, they have been described as “deeply touching and meditative” as well as “exuberant, virtuosic and uplifting”. Their music draws on a patchwork of influences as far reaching as Balkan, jazz, Jewish, Celtic, Italian, Indonesian and classical music while keeping a refreshing core of originality. This one time only opportunity to experience the exquisitely spellbinding music of Chaika will see the Sydney six-piece joined by the 17 strong Pickpockets & Rascals Orchestra to perform arrangements of their original music live in the heart of Sydney.
