Jocelyn Pook Ensemble
The repertoire of the 10 piece Jocelyn Pook Ensemble comprises original works for the concert stage and selections from her film and television scores, including Eyes Wide Shut, L'emploi du temps, Merchant of Venice and The Government Inspector. Jocelyn's most recent compositions for stage include the music for the National Theatre's production of St Joan (September 2007), and for film Julio Medem's Caotica Ana and Sarah Gavron's upcoming Brick Lane. Pook's ensemble features virtuoso vocalists from Iran and Sri Lanka alongside western classical singers to produce what The Guardian called "..a dizzying diversity of styles and musics". The resulting fusion is simply stunning and unique to Pook; an ethereal sound that transcends traditional musical frontiers. Many of the concerts incorporate a strong visual element, provided by the artist Dragan Aleksic.
