Combining a peculiarly British proclivity for nonsense with the European cabaret tradition, The Pigeon Quintet present an exhilarating new musical combination to startle and enchant all tastes.
Guitar, clarinets, trumpet and 'cello combine forces with the haunting voice of Jo de Waal to form a dazzling mélange. The repertoire includes new arrangements of Weill's Broadway and Berlin theatre songs as well as Eisler/Brecht art songs, Piazzolla tangos, Sondheim songs, and new pieces written for and by the group, including collaborations with the poet Kate Clanchy. Audiences have loved the group, finding them constantly entertaining, moving and provocative.
