I received a press release regarding a festival in May due to Camilla Kerslake's involvement, but Raven are also on the bill:
City Showcase: Roots & Flutes
On 9th May 2010 - A celebration of classical music from the cultures of Britain
City Showcase: "Roots & Flutes" is the first time that the classical traditions of London’s great cultures will be celebrated in one event and will reflect the diversity and heritage of the city and all it has absorbed over the years from traditional takes on classical music to more diverse interpretations from across the globe. The first ever "Roots & Flutes” will be held at the British Music Experience at The O2 and in the Arts Pavilion of Mile End Park.y Showcase had
This unique and credible festival will introduce London’s musical roots to a whole new audience and demonstrate the breadth of our culture. There will be a day of music in restaurants and bars at The O2 as well as a rolling programme of talented new musicians at The British Music Experience. Participating restaurants include Gaucho, Union Square, The O2 Store, Slug & Lettuce, S&M, Frankie & Benny’s, Las Iguanas, Water Margin and the Ha Ha Bar.
Headlining at the British Music Experience is the wonderful vocal talent of Camilla Kerslake (signed by Gary Barlow to his new label) as well as the groundbreaking all female string quartet- Raven Quartet, Raghu Dixit (India’s highest selling non film music release), Mosi Conde and the Guzheng Ensemble. These artists will be joined by other fantastic musicians from the classical traditions of Africa, China, India and Latin America and will feature new and hotly tipped young musicians from The Royal College of Music.
