Marlene Verwey

Inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt the Manoucheketeers will be slicing their way through a set of swinging 30’s jazz tunes, nuanced ballads and Reinhardt’s own hot compositions. Add to the mix tunes from subsequent gypsy guitar maestros and they will transport you to that campfire under the stars…


Manoucheketeers


Marimba percussionist Eri Kaishima and saxophonist Michaela Stapleton are two keen chamber musicians who began working as a duo to explore and expand their existing repertoire in exciting, new ways. You are invited to experience a fascinating and unusual combination of sounds in this innovative and musically versatile programme of recent works.
