Unique cross-cultural, multi-lingual, multi-instrumental collaboration, with roots in England, Germany and Russia
Bringing a truly international flavour to the ACE Space stage, on June 14, will be the trio of Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh.
Based in the UK but with roots in England, Germany and Russia respectively, their stunning three-part vocal harmonies bring to life spellbinding folk tales, expertly woven together with a vibrant international twist.
They bring a unique cross-cultural, multi-lingual, multi-instrumental collaboration, turning familiar folk tunes into something fresh and powerful.
Odette Michell is an award-winning British singer-songwriter who was at ACE Space in 2022 opening for Phil Beer. A true storyteller and writer, Odette self-pens the vast majority of her songs. These are fresh, contemporary compositions but she blurs the lines so successfully you could easily believe some of them come straight from the traditional canon. Her second studio album 'The Queen of the Lowlands' is due for release the day before the ACE Space gig.
Karen Pfeiffer, originally from Stuttgart, mainly performs and tours with Paul Walker since 2012. As well as performing in theatres, village halls, folk clubs and festivals across the UK they have toured New Zealand and Western Australia and annually in southern Ireland and Germany. ‘The Living Tradition ‘said Karen’s “seriously impressive, mezzo-soprano voice: one that would not be out of place on the opera stage.”
Daria Kulesh, originally from Russia, has been described by Mike Harding as “one of the finest voices and one of the most intriguing and interesting songwriters on the present folk scene”. Mixing her Eastern roots with Western folk influences, she creates an original and exciting sound, full of passion and magic. She fearlessly explores her heritage and turbulent family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that "aren't just sung, but lived".
Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh, with local band Bumtickler providing support, will be at ACE Space on Saturday 14th June. Tickets are £16 and available from www.WeGotTickets.com or by emailing events@acespace.org.uk or calling 078911 76940.
