About the Concert
When Richard Morrison of The Times describes performers as having “telepathic rapport, dazzling virtuosity, serious scholarship, intellectual curiosity and impeccable musicianship,” one takes notice. Kosmos Ensemble represents something genuinely revolutionary in chamber music – a trio that seamlessly removes the artificial barriers between classical and world traditions, creating an entirely new musical language that speaks to both the intellect and the soul.
A Genre-Defying Performance
The programme, to be announced from the stage, promises an exhilarating voyage across continents and centuries. Expect to encounter the passionate fire of gypsy traditions alongside the melancholic beauty of Scottish airs, the intricate ornamentations of Jewish folk song, and the sultry rhythms of Argentine tango. Yet this is far from a mere world music medley. Kosmos weaves these diverse threads through the lens of their impeccable classical training, creating arrangements where Corelli’s baroque elegance might suddenly bloom into Piazzolla’s sultry sophistication, or where a traditional Greek melody transforms through improvisation worthy of the finest jazz traditions.
About Kosmos
Each member brings exceptional credentials: Harriet Mackenzie, whose concerto recordings with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have earned Gramophone’s praise for “faultless technique and unfailing insight”; Meg Hamilton, whose unique mastery of world viola techniques creates sounds both “beautiful and truly evocative”; and Miloš Milivojević, the Serbian accordion virtuoso whose performances The Times describes as “a hurricane of imaginative invention.” Together, they have garnered recognition from Making Music as ‘Selected Artists’ twice over, performing at venues from the Royal Albert Hall to European festivals.
This promises to be an evening where musical boundaries simply cease to exist – where the rigour of classical training meets the spontaneity of improvisation, creating something both intellectually satisfying and irresistibly moving.
