Songs for the Earth is a fusion of folk, jazz and classical music, inspired by our need to connect with nature and the outdoors. This programme is curated, directed and arranged by violinist Bridget O’Donnell, originally from Sydney, who is part of London’s dynamic free-lance classical scene and plays regularly in chamber and contemporary groups as well as with the city’s top orchestras, and jazz bass player, composer, arranger and bandleader Misha Mullov-Abbado (2017 BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist). Both have worked together on a release for October House Records, and more recently with Sinfonia Cymru introducing this very programme for the first time ever, where they shared some of their arrangements and recordings of this music on Cerys Matthews’ show on BBC 6 Music. The full ensemble is a five-piece string group made up of the UK’s finest young talent in the classical, contemporary and jazz scenes, and this project will take you through a range of different styles and moods.

Song lyrics translation:

Light to flourish, light to flourish
His light, the light of love.

Oh great spirit, great spirit of love.
Fill us with your light, fill our hearts.

Que Florezca La Luz | Songs for the Earth (EFG London Jazz Festival 2022)

Curated and led by violinist Bridget O’Donnell and bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado, Songs for the Earth is a fusion of folk, jazz and classical music, inspired by our need to connect with nature and the outdoors.

Their show links the spirit of folk music to nature, the seasons, and the ways we connect with the outdoors through walking, gardening, observing and just being.

The programme will include arrangements of nature-inspired music from Celtic, Nordic, North & South American, Eastern European and Middle-Eastern traditions – some will be traditional folk songs from hundreds of years ago, others will be more recent songs by songwriters of today.
