Orsino’s Safari – Presented by Redland Spring Festival

Orsino – ‘A character from Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’ who declared that “If music be the food of love, play on.”

Safari – An expensive chance to get ripped to pieces by a wild animal (Urban Dictionary)

Orsino’s Safari – an adventure through music, where the prize outweighs the risks, and the journey takes you across genres, continents and instrumental styles.

Full of rhythm, life and energy four genre blending musicians play classical instruments with energy, banging and scraping as much as they blow, pluck, bow or strum.

Hearing this band is stepping into your favourite film sound track, but you won’t have this in your collection – well not yet!

Cello, guitar, violin and flute play original works and recreations of contemporary tunes. The group combines flavours from South America, Africa, and European Folk in intricate arrangements that transport you to exotic destinations.

Geoff Ahmet – Guitar (Fellow Royal College of Music)
