Jade Du Preez Songs From A Shadow Garden
Songs from a Shadow Garden
Songs from a Shadow Garden is a collaboration between visual artist, Jade du Preez, and some talented Auckland-based musicians. This series of 'live music videos' involves projection over performance, mixing sweet strings with surreal visuals.
Violinist Pearl Hindley will bring to life the instantly recognisable Hungarian folk song, Czardas, along with a set of Celtic tunes.
The second set features classical violinist Carolyn Alane, and Fiona Chua on keyboard. The musical director for this was none other than Fiona Chua, pianist and composer with a passion for musical theatre.
