vocalsAlbum Description
"Songs for Shakespeare" consists of original musical and performative material where the starting point are Shakespeare's words, taken from several sources and with no apparent connection between them. By glueing these pieces together in a patchwork, a new narrative is created that extends the Shakespearean universe from end to end.
Imagined by Maria João and João Farinha, partners for more than 10 years in the jazz/electronic project OGRE, the idea arises to increase this basic formation of electric pianos, synthesizers, electronics and drums to include a chamber ensemble that through the hands of the composer and orchestrator Sara Ross will give a palette of colours not possible until now, vitalizing this Shakespearean universe with a modern twist.
