Bringing you closer to the music and the musicians: new festival at Clerkenwell’s Fidelio Orchestra Café - Up Close and Musical

Clerkenwell’s Fidelio Orchestra Café has been hosting live, socially distanced concerts since July and in November the café will host Up Close and Musical, a three-day cross-genre festival created by violist Shiry Rashkovsky. 

There will be hour-long concerts by featuring short, candid interviews led by Shiry Rashkovsky, and special Q&A sessions with musical entrepreneurs and journalists. All the events are scheduled around meals and drinks to facilitate spontaneous interaction with the artists throughout the weekend. Those taking part include recording artist Francesca Dego, composer Gabriel Prokofiev, cellist Abel Selaocoe, jazz-bassist and composer Misha Mullov-Abbado, pianist Alasdair Beatson, soprano Héloïse Werner, and Trio Klein, plus discussion and workshops with musical entrepreneur Raffaello Morales, journalist and writer Jessica Duchen and composer Nimrod Borenstein.

The festival will take place 6 -8 November 2020 and differs from the Café’s existing programme in that tickets can also be purchased as full day or full weekend passes.
