Balladeste + James Maloney + Pelin Pelin

Violinist Preetha Narayanan and cellist Tara Franks have devised a unique way of writing and performing as string duo Balladeste. Tonight they present Conversations in Ritual, an improvised sonic experience interspersed with their original string music, with traces of Indian and contemporary classical, minimalism and contemplative instrumental song. 

James Maloney is a modern classical composer known for debut instrumental album Gaslight, as well as theatre and film work, notably for Shakespeare's Globe and Martin McDonagh play A Very Very Very Dark Matter at Bridge Theatre, London. 

Also on the bill is solo artist Pelin Pelin, who takes the piano in unlikely directions, including soundtracking the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
