We welcome Tarta Relena, the experimental folk duo, comprised of Helena Ros Redon and Marta Torrella i Martínez, who explore the rich vocal traditions of the Mediterranean, singing in languages such as classical Greek, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Catalan, Ladino, and more. Their music blends sacred and secular influences, drawing inspiration from flamenco, lyrical song, traditional music and electronic experimentation. Renowned for their captivating live performances in which they craft a vibrant sonic world where the past and future converge, Tarta Relena has been featured at festivals like Sónar, Le Guess Who?, Mutek, Big Ears, and Primavera Sound.
To open the evening, composer and artist Meara O’Reilly’s Hockets For Two Voices will be performed by Mingjia Chen & Linnea Sablosky. Her "Hockets for Two Voices" album was named in several 2019 year-end best-of lists, including Artforum, Bandcamp, and Second Inversion, and her work has been presented at such varied venues as Carnegie Hall, National Sawdust, and SFMOMA. Linnea Sablosky is an LA-based musician with a passion for close harmony and intricate rhythms who grew up studying Balkan singing and West African drumming and they have toured internationally with world folk choir Northern Harmony.
