'Spanish Spice'

Spanish Spice comprises lively early music with a modern twist, evoking the atmosphere of a gypsy encampment, with virtuosic improvisations on harps, recorders, viol, guitar, theorbo and percussion. Eclipse performs exhilarating flamencos, lyrical ensemble pieces and the swirling passionate tarantella. The guest artist of the programme, flamenco and contemporary dancer Gabriela Rosa, creates an exciting link between Early Music and the folk world of flamenco dance. Eclipse gives an electrifying performance brimming with kaleidoscopic moods and colours.

'Forgotten Secrets'

An exotic blend of music, song and story-telling from medieval Europe and the living tradition of the Sephardic Jews. The songs originally evolved in Spain and travelled with the exiled Jews to many other countries, absorbing different ethnic influences from North Africa and Eastern Europe. Guest artist Clare Norburn adds an ethereal dimension with her mesmeric soprano voice contrasting with the passionate flamenco singing of Mor Karbasi. Listeners are lured into a sound world of magic and mystery. Eclipse perform on harps, recorders, viol, percussion, psaltery & hammered - dulcimer.
