SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant: Book of Ayres
DESCRIPTION:Cécile McLorin Salvant: Book of Ayres\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cécile McLorin Salvant: Book of Ayres\n\n\n\nHow far can a song travel? \n\n\n\nHow far can a song travel? is a UK premiere by Cécile McLorin Salvant that explores the roots and afterlives of jazz\, blues\, folk\, theatre\, and early music. A musical storyteller and curator\, Salvant revives forgotten songs\, instruments\, and performance traditions\, reimagining them for a contemporary audience. \n\n\n\nIn Book of Ayres\, the three-time Grammy Award-winner brings together improvising musicians from across genres — early music\, jazz\, folk\, and electronic — blending synthesisers and percussion with flute\, harpsichord\, theorbo\, lute\, and bass. \n\n\n\nThe result is a richly layered new folk sound\, where texts and traditions from across eras and cultures converge\, from Dowland and Purcell to Monteverdi and folkloric material spanning Europe and the Americas. \n\n\n\nPresented as part of Unfinished Revolutions\, the work reflects on how music migrates\, transforms\, and survives across time\, borders\, and languages\, continually reshaped by those who perform it. \n\n\n\n\n“Part of my practice is imagining musical family trees and learning from the influences of my influences. Growing up\, I wanted to be an opera singer. Opera led me to Baroque music\, which led me to early music. I had a similar path with American music. \n\n\n\n“I gravitate towards forgotten songs\, early or maligned instruments\, and languages and performance styles on the brink of extinction. I bring this process of excavation into my own writing\, blending old and new\, exploring language and mythology.  \n\n\n\n“I have been making the unoriginal yet concerted effort to move beyond categorizing music by genre. What I am interested in is exploring\, celebrating\, and making fun of desire\, divulging secrets\, dredging up the past\, looking under the rug.”  \n\n\n\nCécile McLorin Salvant \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial pre-show conversation\n\n\n\nBefore the performance on Thursday 28 May\, Cécile will be joined onstage by award-winning multi-instrumentalist Rhiannon Giddens.  \n\n\n\nThey will discuss the new material Cécile has been developing for the show\, and the start of Rhiannon’s year as one of the Cultural Programme’s Cultural Fellows. There will be a short break before Book of Ayres begins at 7.45pm. \n\n\n\nPlease note: the advertised post-show conversation on Thursday 28 May will now take place before the performance and be slightly shorter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformers\n\n\n\nCécile McLorin Salvant \n\n\n\nSullivan Fortner\, piano/harpsichord/keyboardsEmi Ferguson\, fluteDušan Balarin\, theorbo/luteYasushi Nakamura\, bassKeita Ogawa\, percussion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTimes: \n\n\n\nApprox. 90 mins (plus 30 mins pre-show event on Thursday 28 May) \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSohmen Concert Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nSchwarzman Centre for the Humanities is a major new cultural and academic landmark for the University of Oxford\, bringing together seven humanities faculties with performance\, exhibition\, and public engagement spaces under one roof.
