FIKA, the new album release by Elysian Fields, Australia\u2019s electric viola da gamba band\u00a0 will have its official live launch with two performances as a proud participant in the Sydney Women\u2019s International Jazz Festival.<\/p>\n

At the launch concert, Elysian Fields will also give the first public performance of \u201cShadows\u201d by celebrated young Australian composer Alice Chance – highlighting the classical-jazz crossover as well as women composers at a women\u2019s jazz festival. Alice, ensemble leader Jenny Eriksson and singer\/violinist Susie Bishop will draw on their classical roots to create beautiful music that plays and sings to the gathering of friends with food and fine conversation. The warm, light-filled album weaves together family history, music, art, and friendships from the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The concert is the band\u2019s opportunity to launch it in style, with a live audience in an atmospheric COVID-safe venue<\/p>\n

The project has deep roots in viola da gambist and artistic director, Jenny Eriksson\u2019s Swedish ancestry.\u00a0 Fika<\/em> (pron. \u2018fee-ka\u2019), takes its name from the Swedish practice of fika<\/em>: sitting down for coffee, conversation and pastries with friends and family.<\/p>\n

In addition to several folk song arrangements by pianist Matt McMahon and Susie Bishop, Fika<\/em> presents Australian-first recordings of music by renowned Norwegian jazz pianist and composer, Jan Gunnar Hoff, and Swedish jazz greats, e.s.t.. The album opens with his piece \u201cLiving\u201d and closes with a heart-felt cover of the e.s.t. ballad, \u201cBelieve Beleft Below\u201d.<\/p>\n

The CD booklet also features paintings by Swedish artist Nils Gunnar Zander, who has divided his time between Australia and Stockholm, drawing inspiration from the landscapes of the Australian outback.<\/p>\n
