The Boîte Spring Festival: The Faraway Trio at The Oratory

Anne Norman on shakuhachi, Chris Lewis on drums and Stephen Hornby on bass perform original compositions and free improvisations.
In 2019 when three kindred spirits from adjacent but distinct musical worlds connected, the chemistry was instantaneous. Everything that needed to be said was felt and heard through the blending of their acoustic instruments. An egalitarian approach to deep listening and interaction through free play and exploration of their unique compositional voices is at the core of this ensemble.

The ensemble encompasses a rich palette of musical colours: Anne’s classical to Zen shakuhachi, Chris’ home-spun indie approach to circus-theatre soundtracks and Stephen’s immersion in the jazz tradition.

Fresh out of the studio having recently recorded their first, soon to be released album, ‘The Faraway Trio’ are delighted to present for you a night of original music blending, both western and Japanese classical traditions as well as jazz and improvisation in this intimate setting.
