Back by overwhelming demand after last year’s sold out performance, Ana Silvera and Saied Silbak return with their acclaimed project, Songs We Carry.

Expect a powerful, transportive set that blends the emotive, melancholy of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music with the rich Maqams and intricate melodies of Arabic song.

For Silvera, this project is deeply personal, rooted in her family's history as Jewish refugees of the Spanish Inquisition, who resettled in Aleppo (then part of the Ottoman Empire) in the 18th century. Silvera’s re-working of ancestral song offers a glimpse into the resilience and beauty of her heritage; her talent for rendering these ancient melodies afresh also gestures to her work as a singer-songwriter, a path that has earned her praise from discerning critics including The Guardian, who have lauded her work as "stunning... magical storytelling.

Meanwhile, Silbak’s journey from Shafaa’mr, a city located in the lower Galilee of occupied Palestine, to the cosmopolitan landscape of London infuses his artistry with a profound understanding of diverse musical traditions. With virtuosity honed through a lifetime of exploration, Silbak masterfully melds Arabic, Turkish, and Indian influences with Western styles, crafting a signature sound that transcends borders.

This is an 16+ event.

Flook, praised for their "virtuosic playing" and "staggering tunes" (The Irish Times), comes to London's stunning Union Chapel to celebrate 30 years of their illustrious history.

What began in 1995 as a ground-breaking union of musicians and instruments, has continued as a unique musical offering through one live album, four studio albums and countless outstanding performances. With a new recording due for release in early 2025, it is clear that even after 30 years, Flook show no sign of letting-up in their brilliance, their dynamism, or their inventive flair.

At Union Chapel, expect to be swept away by Flook's abundant artistry and virtuosity. It will be an evening and a celebration you don’t want to miss out on.
