What’s Musical Journeys ‘25?
An international online and hybrid cabaret featuring musicians my Fiona Frank met while travelling across Brazil and Canada in 2024
• Cacuriá Rosa de Balaio dancers from São Luís, Brazil
• Mary Beth Carty (Nova Scotia) – Canadian Folk Singer of the Year 2024
• Carmen Guérard (Quebec) – virtuoso Québécois melodeon
And possibly MORE performers.
You can join on Zoom, or attend in person at Halton Mill near Lancaster, where there’ll also be:
• Capoeira Angola Ogum performing live
• Batala Lancaster bringing Brazilian vibes to Halton
• And Brazilian food and artwork to bring the space to life
And don’t forget – this is more than a concert.
At least a quarter of all funds raised will support three projects connected to the Amazon:
• The Dom Phillips Institute, founded by Dom’s widow to take forward his legacy of providing a voice for Indigenous defenders in the Amazon
• A rap project for young artists in Altamira, in the heart of the Amazon
• A musical instrument distribution initiative for remote Indigenous villages near Tefé, Amazonas state
The event won’t happen unless we raise at least £3,500 by the deadline, 24th July. (And if we exceed our targets, this musical celebration will get even bigger and more diverse.
Fiona is already in talks with:
• Gilles Losier, the 89-year-old blind fiddler and pianist, in a never before seen collaboration with La Famille Leblanc, a sensational father-and-daughters family band from New Brunswick in Eastern Canada
• A Klezmer band from Montreal
And more...
Grab your ticket today and help us get over the line and have a great event in October.
