The Marsyas Suite by Marcus Vergette

Marcus Vergette – double bass
Tom Unwin – keys
Roz Harding – sax
Janna Bulmer – cello
Lucy Welsmen – cello

Part of ‘A Message From…’ live music series

Composed by bassist and sculptor Marcus Vergette, ‘The Marsyas Suite’ is inspired by the Titian painting ‘The Flaying of Marsyas.’ First premiered on BBC Radio 3 in the late 90s, Marcus has revived this work with a new lineup: Roz Harding on alto sax, Janna Bulmer and Lucy Welsman on twin cellos, Tom Unwin on piano and Marcus on double bass.

This is a unique piece with many facets, telling the story of Marsyas, a shepherd boy who finds a flute thrown away by Athena.

‘kaleidoscopic chamber jazz full of musical drama and excitement.’
