Songs We Carry, the highly acclaimed collaborative project between singer and multi-instrumentalist Ana Silvera and Oud virtuoso Saied Silbak, comes to London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields for a very special expanded performance with Sinfonia Cymru.

Described by The Arts Desk as “beautiful and deeply moving”, Songs We Carry explores the emotive, melancholy of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music and the rich Maqams and intricate melodies of Arabic song. For this expanded performance, legendary Welsh musician Patrick Rimes has rescored Songs We Carry to be performed by Ana, Saied, himself and four Sinfonia Cymru musicians, adding complementary Welsh songs to the set.

This promises to be a unique cross-cultural performance in one of London’s most beautiful venues.
