About the show
Songs We Carry Ana Silvera – Singer & multi-instrumentalist Saied Silbak – Oud & vocals Patrick Rimes – Fiddle/viola
Every year Sinfonia Cymru collaborates with well-known artists and international stars who inspire and challenge us. Their latest cross-cultural collaboration is a new and expanded version of Songs We Carry, an acclaimed performance toured by Ana Silvera and Saied Silbak in recent years. It explores the emotive melancholy of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music and the rich Maqams and intricate melodies of Arabic song.
Legendary Welsh musician Patrick Rimes has rescored Songs We Carry to be performed by Ana, Saied, himself, and four Sinfonia Cymru musicians, adding complementary Welsh songs to the set. Join Sinfonia Cymru for a rich and varied exploration of music from different cultures, that promises to build on an original show described as “beautiful and deeply moving”. (The Arts Desk, *****).
