SATOKO FUKUDA and STEVE BERESFORD - Duo
Fukuda on violin and Beresford on piano will perform their rarely-seen duo.
Satoko Fukuda was born in Japan 1981. She started the violin at the age of seven and at nine came over to England to study with Catherine Lord. Her first concerto debut was at the age of thirteen for the Anglo-Japanese Society and she has since performed and recorded all over the world. She was awarded the Concordia Serena Nevill prize for 2007. She appears as an improviser on the critically acclaimed CD ‘Unlocked’ (Emanem, 2007) with pianist Veryan Weston and Hannah Marshall and has a classical CD in
preparation.
Steve Beresford has made free improvisation his main focus for many years, playing with people like Derek Bailey, John Zorn, Han Bennink, Evan Parker and making far too many recordings. He has also worked with musicians from
lots of other areas, including Prince Far-I, Alan Hacker, Ivor Cutler, Frank Chickens, The Slits, The Flying Lizards, and written music for TV shows (like Derren Brown) and a number of movies you are unlikely to remember. His
most recent CD release is 'Check For Monsters' on Emanem with trumpeter Peter Evans and 'cellist Okkyung Lee.
SHABAKA HUTCHINGS - Solo
Shabaka plays clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor saxophone. He’s presenting a solo set, including free improvisations and Luciano Berio’s brilliant Sequenza 9a for clarinet.
TRIO HTU (Hannah Marshall, Ute Kanngiesser and Terry Day)
Terry Day writes: “This is Trio HTU gig number three, which may well include a mix of passion, the considered, the conceptual, the bizarre, exotic, & moments of the sheer sublime!”
Terry Day was a founder member in 1965 of the legendary People Band, in which he played drums and myriad other instruments. (A double CD of archive material with notes by Day is just out on Emanem). He was also a member of the group Alterations, which included Beresford, David Toop and Peter Cusack. He makes his own bamboo pipes and writes many poems. You are likely
to hear both at Café Oto.
Ute Kanngiesser is an improvising and experimenting cellist based in London.
