Fran & Flora
Multi-award nominated experimental-folk violin and cello duo Fran & Flora play in Nottingham for the first time.
To celebrate the release of their self-produced 2nd album, 'Precious Collection’ (Hidden Notes Records, April 2024), we can’t wait to welcome Fran and Flora into CommuniTree. The duo “researches and reinvents traditional Eastern European Jewish melodies and songs, infusing source material gleaned from archival recordings, recovered manuscripts and studies with traditional masters with improvisation and electronics to create a 'border-defying' aesthetic” (Mojo).
Following the release of their debut album 'Unfurl' in Feb '19 (‘beguiling beauty’ - The Wire; ‘brave and classy’ - The Guardian; ‘indisputable virtuosity’ - Songlines), 'Precious Collection' explores the depths of Ter-Berg and Curzon's 10 year collaboration, featuring unique arrangements and self-penned tunes pushing their ground-breaking project to new heights.
Known for their dynamic live performances they have sold out venues including Kings Place and Cafe Oto, and have performed at festivals worldwide including Hidden Notes, London Jazz Festival, Smugglers, Fire In The Mountain, Shtetl Neukolln (Berlin), Ancienne Belgique (Brussels), and KlezKanada (Montreal).
