Maria Konoshenko, Michael J McEvoy
SONGS of EXILE album launch concert
Sat 8th August 7.30 pm
A concert, dedicated to Maria’s new album Songs of Exile, co-produced with Emmy award-winning, British-American producer, Michael J McEvoy. The forthcoming album Songs of Exile is a powerful collection of musical settings of poems written by exiled and imprisoned poets. Konoshenko acknowledges the influence of 20th-century émigrés — Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Vertinsky and Kurt Weill — artists who transformed exile into a powerful creative engine. As a singer, Konoshenko’s greatest passion is chamber music, spanning classical art song, tango and folk traditions. Her vocal style draws inspiration from Maria Callas, Tamara Sinyavskaya, Sarah Vaughan and Dianne Reeves. She has performed with orchestras and Baroque ensembles in Russia and the UK, including Musica Universalis and Norwich Baroque, and has appeared in recital with pianists across Europe.
Michael J McEvoy is an Emmy award-winning and Ivor Novello nominated composer, producer and songwriter with many film, television and pop music credits to his name. His music scores include Richard Loncraine’s Finding Your Feet starring Timothy Spall and Imelda Staunton and Richard Linklater’s Me and Orson Welles starring Zac Efron and Clare Danes. Recent credits include the hard-hitting environmental feature doc, Ending Real Fur, 4-part series hacker:HUNTER, and Rebecca Coley’s 2023 surfing documentary, Point of Change (co-scored with Paul Oakenfold, Stephen Warbeck and Lewis Morison). In 2018 he scored the Peabody Award-winning BBC/PBS documentary, The Jazz Ambassadors. Other work in television includes ITV mini-series, Dark Angel with Joanne Froggatt, the landmark series for NatGeo, Alien Deep, Einstein’s Big Idea for (PBS/Nova) and Battle of the Hood and Bismarck.

BOOK
NT Live – The Misanthrope – Thursday 24th Sept at 7pm
On Thursday 24th Sept at 7pm in St Nicks Arts Centre, Swafield we’ll screen a performance of The Misanthrope based on the play by Moliere
Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.
Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
The film has a TBC age classification.
This screening is preceded by an optional fish & chip supper from the Fish Shop in Roughton (or bring your own food) that will be delivered at 7pm, the screening will start around 7:20pm. We will have a licensed bar at this event.
