RAVEL - Album release!

About

For many years, Lumaka has been captivated by the enchanting and ingenious music of Maurice Ravel . The ensemble is therefore about to release their new album RAVEL, featuring arrangements of some of his most beautiful works. The Sonatine and Le Tombeau de Couperin were previously arranged for flute, harp and strings. The arrangements of Ma Mère l’Oye and Menuet antique for quintet were made by members of Lumaka themselves. To celebrate the release, Lumaka will perform excerpts from the new album (and a little more), and there will be a surprise — perhaps you might even win a copy of the new record! Ensemble Lumaka **was founded almost 25 years ago by Jana Machalett (flute), Martina Forni (viola) and Miriam Overlach (harp), who were students at the Conservatory of Amsterdam at the time. The ensemble soon won several competitions, including the International Chamber Music Competition Almere and Het Debuut. Since then, the ensemble has expanded to include cello (Charles Watt) and violin (with various players), and has regularly performed in some of the Netherlands’ finest concert halls
