For many, classical music has become a showcase for museum pieces and in the quest to find new paths, cross-over projects have become increasingly popular, most of which succeed in creating 'a meeting of comfort zones'. Dido's Lament offers a new vision! It is not fusion or cross- genre but a new conversation which incorporates the raw materials of many sources, creating an urbane and relevant 21st century classical music that is vibrant, passionate, and virtuosic. And like all great music, it is accessible while sparkling with originality.The repertoire consists largely of the compositional work of pianist/composer Joe Chindamo, who, aided and abetted by the supremely gifted violinist, Zoe Black has seen him forge a completely new direction.
