Turrisi and Ellis are joined by saxophone virtuoso Nick Roth to form TRE, an original trio re-imagining both original compositions and Mediterranean modal music through contemporary chamber music, jazz and improvisation.
Kate Ellis & Francesco Turrisi Residency
Two outstanding musical adventurers join forces this year to curate this exciting residency project that sees them collaborate with special guests on a series of one-off concerts. Festival regular and Artistic Director of Crash Ensemble Kate Ellis has long been at the forefront of contemporary music in Ireland, while the Grammy Award-winning polymath Francesco Turrisi makes a long-awaited return to KAF with a series of concerts exploring everything from chamber music to jazz. As well as performing in each other’s concerts, Ellis and Turrisi also throw open their rehearsal rooms, offering a unique opportunity to glimpse new work in the making.

Keep an eye on our socials for details of the open rehearsals.
