Programme Note
“Music of intensity, beauty, high skill, and international stature.” (Rootsworld)
Eva Quartet are Daniela Stoitchkova, Evelina Hristova, Gergana Dimitrova, and Sofia Kovacheva, four soloists from the world-famous "Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares". They present a programme of heart-warming and breath-taking folk and sacred music from Bulgaria’s rich vocal traditions, both ancient and rooted but also with their own modern styling and featuring contemporary compositions. With their deeply intuitive close harmony, virtuosic voice control and unique vocal techniques, the four singers offer a moment out of time in which listeners are invited into a sometimes intimate, sometimes raucous, sound world. Eva Quartet was formed in 1995 by the same four women, who were singing together in the Orthodox Church. Come and celebrate their 30th anniversary with them!
“This is meticulously made music, as is that of a classical vocal ensemble, but the voices yearn, surge, linger, interlock, drone and counterpoint, and on the up-tempo pieces fizz and chatter, in ways that no Western-classical ensembles, even the progressive ones, match in style or sound.” (Rootsworld)
The concert will be unamplified in the St Cyprian’s church 5 minutes’ walk from Baker Street station.
Seating is unreserved.
