About
They play both western and traditional Afghan instruments, and in Sadie Harrison’s Gulistan-e Nur: The Rosegarden of Light, they perform Afghan songs and dances which Harrison’s music then explores and develops. Kevin Bishop’s arrangements of Afghan tunes likewise link east and west.
This recording is evidence of a visionary venture celebrating the power of music to transform lives as it also revives and rebuilds Afghan musical traditions.
Sadie Harrison was made a Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths, London, in recognition of her unique research-based integration of contemporary composition and traditional Afghan music. In the same year a CD of her chamber music from Toccata Classics was described in The Observer as ‘a disc of glittering intensity’. Sadie Harrison has a unique career-path: alone among composers as a former archaeologist, she now also works part-time as a gardener.
