Duke of George presents

Tales from the Orient presented by Michael Pignéguy & 
Mark Cain with The Awakenings Ensemble

Following their recent sold-out show, Michael and Mark are re-uniting to bring their World Music spectacle back to the Duke of George. The aim of this musical partnership is to take audience members on a journey around the Orient featuring musical influences from Turkey to Persia. 

Original and traditional works will be presented alongside re-interpretations of music from other cultures allowing new musical conversations to take place. Michael (drums & percussion) and Mark (multi-reeds) will be joined by Esfandiar Shahmir (persian ney & vocals), Michael Edelby (Oud), Jeremy Greig (trombone), Peter Jeavons (bass) and Harry Mitchell (keyboards). 

Don’t miss this remarkable, musical collaboration!

"...music enthused by the sights and sounds of the region, reflected in rhythms, 
melodies and chords redolent of exotic voyages and movie scores..."
