Tarik Beshir
Well-known in Oxford as a founder of The Brickwork Lizards, oud player and singer Tarik Beshir has also gained an international reputation as one of the finest performers of the music of Ottoman Egypt, from the golden age of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Natalia and the Whispering Knights
Natalia Kakarkina sings the songs of her Ukrainian homeland with a clarity and emotional depth born from experience:
songs of loss, of young love, songs of springtime and the everyday.
Supported by her Whispering Knights:
Giles Lewin – violin, John Ruddock – guitar, Pete Watson – accordion and Bruno Guastalla – cello / bandoneon,
Natalia will reveal the charms of this enthralling music.
