  • Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn
    BÉLA FLECK & ABIGAIL WASHBURN ADELAIDE TOWN HALL 12 AUGUST 8PM USA ADELAIDE PREMIERE 16 - time Grammy winner Béla Fleck and his critically lauded partner Abigail Washburn bring together, in a seemingly mystical union, Fleck’s revered modern compositions for banjo with Washburn’s equally respected old-school take on the instrument. Their 2014 debut duo album revealed new musical possibilities found in their combined styles, heralded by Washburn’s angelic voice. The triumph of their collaboration was recognised when the record won the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album. “A stunning collection of eloquent duets” – THE NEW YORKER “the couple has mined various intimate intricacies of the banjo duet, using an aesthetic of front-porch minimalism to play an eclectic mix of country blues, Appalachian mountain songs and expansive chamber folk…. The duo's eponymous debut is filled with understated force” – WASHINGTON POST “two monsters of the banjo” – NPR All Things Considered BÉLA FLECK & ABIGAIL WASHBURN Sure, in the abstract, a banjo duo might seem like a musical concept beset by limitations. But when the banjo players cast in those roles are Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck—she with the earthy sophistication of a postmodern, old-time singer-songwriter, he with the virtuosic, jazz-to-classical ingenuity of an iconic instrumentalist and composer with bluegrass roots— it’s a different matter entirely. There’s no denying that theirs is a one-of-a-kind pairing, with one-of- a-kind possibilities. Fleck and Washburn have collaborated in the past, most visibly in their Sparrow Quartet with Casey Driessen and Ben Sollee.

  • Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn December 6 at Royce Hall "As musicians and as songwriters, Fleck and Washburn are predisposed to embrace the entire world — its sounds and its occupants alike. Echo in the Valley ties the many ​ ​ threads of their interests into a work that dazzles without sacrificing a shred of approachability.” - NPR Music ​ ​ “Echo in the Valley is to bluegrass as Charlie Parker was to New Orleans in the ’20s: ​ ​ respectful of its roots, untethered in its ambitions and triumphant in bringing it all together.” – Downbeat ​ UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents husband and wife duo, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. at Royce Hall. Tickets for $26–$66 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, via Ticketmaster, by phone 310-825-2101, and at the UCLA Central Ticket Office. Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn will perform songs from their new album, Echo in the ​ Valley (Rounder). Serving as a follow-up to their acclaimed self-titled debut earning the ​ ​ ​ 2016 Grammy for Best Folk Album. This performance is a reflection of the times, including the single “Come All You Coal Miners,” written by coal miner advocate Sarah Ogan ​ ​ Gunning. “‘Come All You Coal Miners,” a vintage agitprop lament about coal mining as wage slavery, opens this track in unexpected form, a long way from traditionalism, with Abigail Washburn's near a cappella vocal over eerie electronic tones that may involve banjos in reverse,” writes The New York Times. ​ With seven banjos between them, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn joined forces in 2013 for a very banjo-centric touring project.

  • Béla Fleck: How to Write a Banjo Concerto
    PRESENTS BÉLA FLECK: HOW TO WRITE A BANJO CONCERTO Bookings / Press inquiries: Jim Browne Argot Pictures 235 Duffield Street, #140 Brooklyn, NY 11201 Tel: 646.732.3725 [email protected] 96 minutes, Color, Stereo English, USA, 2014 BÉLA FLECK: HOW TO WRITE A BANJO CONCERTO “Béla Fleck: How To Write A Banjo Concerto” follows banjo trailblazer Béla Fleck through one of his most challenging musical journeys, into the world of the Symphony Orchestra. Béla is commissioned to compose a banjo concerto, possibly the first of its kind, for banjo and 80 piece symphony orchestra. It begins before he has written a note, and concludes a year later, with the sold out premiere concert with the Nashville Symphony. An intimate look at the process of composition and collaboration, “How to Write a Banjo Concerto” features Earl Scruggs, Chick Corea, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, Zakir Hussain, Abigail Washburn and other close musical friends of Béla’s. LONG SYNOPSIS: Banjo master Béla Fleck has taken on the lifelong task of emancipating his instrument from stereotype and misconception. In 2006 he went to Africa to research the banjo’s roots, and jam with incredible acoustic musicians around the continent. This resulted in the award-winning documentary “Throw Down Your Heart”. Now, Béla is back on screen with a new musical adventure: He’s been commis- sioned to write a major banjo concerto for the Nashville Symphony. Despite having no experience creating orchestral music on his own, no ability to read and write standard music notation, and no formal training in classical composition or orchestration, he takes on the project with his customary single-mindedness, creating an amazing new work - all in front of the cameras.
