“A musical marriage that sent the room into ecstasy”

– Oz Asia Festival

Audiences will be transported into the supernatural world of The Three Seas – an international, cross-cultural ensemble that fuses West Bengal and Himalayan folk song with contemporary sounds from Sydney and Kolkata.

Soaring Baul vocals and majestic sounds from North Indian traditions are combined with Bengali beats and the deep groove of the baritone saxophone in an energetic, uplifting musical alchemy.

The remarkable members of The Three Seas were drawn together by their distinct and diverse background and their passion for creating music that resonates universally.

Véronique Serret effortlessly bridges the divide between classical and contemporary art forms

Véronique’s own music blends loops, delays, reverbs and vocals redefining the expression of the violin. Utilising both her acoustic and 6 string electric violins, various percussive elements and field recordings she orchestrates her evershifting landscape. 

Véronique merges sounds of old and new to create her flow, a nod to the past, yet firmly planted in the present day.
