Raven’s Cry Theatre: Ladom Ensemble

The Ladom Ensemble is a mini-orchestra made up of four musicians – piano, cello, accordion and percussion – who play a kind of acoustic fusion that is both passionate and sophisticated.
They create music drawn from Western classical, klezmer, rock, tango, jazz, east coast traditional and classical Persian influences – music that is distilled into something distinctly Canadian.

All four musicians are classically trained with advanced degrees in music, all are fearlessly virtuosic. They believe in taking improvisational risks, in listening deeply and responding spontaneously to one another.

“Ladom often plays with visual elements. ” says CRS Artistic Director Denise Ball. “I’ve asked them to create a program for Sechelt that takes advantage of the fact that our concerts take place in take place in a movie theatre. “So several works on this program will be accompanied by moving images”
