Freedom To Roam: The Rhythms of Migration Spring Tour 2022 - Bury St Edmunds, Aberystwyth, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol | Tickets: https://www.freedomtoroam.earth/tour/ SPRING TOUR Tuesday February 22 – The Apex, Bury St Edmunds Wednesday February 23 – Aberystwyth Arts Centre Thursday February 24 – The Stoller Hall, Manchester Friday February 25 – Howard Assembly Room, Leeds Wednesday March 2 – St George’s, Bristol “Full of exciting potential…beautiful” The Guardian “It was GREAT!” Petroc Trelawny, BBC Radio 3 A world-renowned musical lineup presenting “a totally mesmeric… experience of transcendent quality, in which African, Celtic and Indian influences coalesce as classical fuses with folk, with just a hint of electronic” [Folk Radio UK]. Leader of the Freedom To Roam project, flautist Eliza Marshall, is joined by album co-writers Catrin Finch, Jackie Shave and Dónal Rogers plus special guests including Kuljit Bhamra MBE and Robert Irvine. With a backdrop of stunning bespoke video by acclaimed video designer Amelia Kosminsky, they will play the entire Freedom To Roam album after a screening of the accompanying documentary by multi-award-winning director Nicholas Jones (A Greenlander, You Are Here). The project was inspired by a desire for universal compassion and respect for nature and the realisation that we are nature, and that which affects one of us affects all of us. “A cinematic soundtrack to the major issue of the decade” Irish Music Magazine Eliza Marshall has spearheaded this humanitarian and environmental project, first conceived of during a visit to the Inner Hebrides in 2018. The result is a beautifully crafted journey in music and film through universal responses to our own and the planet’s most pressing needs. Traversing themes such as climate change, conflict, restriction, empathy, what it actually means to be displaced with no choice, this project searches for hope and a positive way forward to cherish this, our beautiful planet Earth. “Once in a while there comes along an album, or a piece of music, that grabs you by the heart and simply refuses to let go.” FATEA Championed by Virginia Mckenna, the resultant work of widescreen, world music fuses folk with classical via Africa, Scotland and India, crossing illusory borders, telling untold stories whilst simultaneously challenging us to see the world with new, and more hopeful, eyes. An acclaimed and much in demand musician who has worked with Peter Gabriel, Sir Paul McCartney, The Divine Comedy and sarod guru Amjad Ali Khan - Eliza has a love for crossing musical boundaries. The poignancy of her vision for Freedom To Roam found new focus during the pandemic and it was eventually written and recorded at Rockfield Studios. “An important and thought-provoking journey with some of the world’s top musicians” Virginia McKenna "A heartwarming project, bringing together superb, cross-genre musicians to remind us of the beauty, and fragility, of our planet" Sarah Kirkup, Deputy Editor, Gramophone “Stunning” James Fagan “A drink from this global watering hole will leave you enriched, enlightened and, hopefully, a more altruistic, compassionate being” FRUK From the artists: “This creative project approaches the interconnected challenges of climate change, environmental destruction and human displacement within the context of our needs for freedom, empathy and hopefulness.” Eliza Marshall “I was inspired by the themes of openness and freedom at the heart of this project and to work with these wonderful musicians” Catrin Finch “I’m very excited by this project and what it is asking us about freedom. What is freedom? What does it mean to be free? It’s an important question. The music that Eliza has put together will inspire people to look deeply at that question” Kuljit Bhamra MBE “​​I was driven to write these tracks because of the ever-increasing plight of displaced people, refugees, and asylum seekers, and the lack of compassion they so often experience in so-called ‘civilised‘ countries. After being forced to leave their homelands in extreme and horrendous situations, whether it be from war, famine, or climate extremes, we must ask ‘what would we wish for ourselves, our friends, and our children in their situation?'. I hope this music reinforces the fact that we are a global family and inextricably connected.” Jackie Shave “The themes of home and the urge or need to leave it have always intrigued me. I wanted to explore this migration of both humanity and the natural world to which we all belong. With changes to the earth’s climate, we know that that which affects one of us affects all of us.” Dónal Rogers

The Rhythms of Migration Eliza Marshall’s Freedom To Roam COMING HOME Composed by Dónal Rogers Visual Artist - Amelia Kosminsky BIO Amelia Kosminsky is a visual artist focusing in video design, light sculpture and photography. She studied Video Design for Live Performance at Guildhall School. Amelia has been the video designer for BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, the Barbican, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Gerard McBurney and the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Sir Simon Rattle with the London Symphony Orchestra. Amelia’s practice is focused on slowing life down to have time to see the beauty around us. A large part of this practice is influenced by her experience with hidden disabilities. As a result, Amelia’s work is predominately peaceful, contemplative and quiet, using light as a medium to produce striking images. WORKING ON FREEDOM TO ROAM “I was so happy to be asked to be involved with this project with Eliza Marshall and the collective who came together to create Freedom to Roam. I first asked Eliza and her fellow composers to sum up each tracks in a few sentences to give me a feel of not only the track as a whole but also the evolution of the music as it was written. Following this, using source images or my own original photography, I then set about creating abstract, evolving, almost dreamscapes that fit each piece. They have been created with minute movement, so that, were the viewer to look at a musician playing and then look back, they wouldn’t have noticed any change taking place. TICKETS AND INFORMATION www.freedomtoroam.earth “A swallow awakens in Africa, it’s journey northwards knows no borders. A green shoot bursts from the ground towards the sky. A child leaves their home, seeking safer shores. The rhythms of migration should have no boundaries. Freedom to roam is nature. Our humanity, wildlife and biodiversity are undeniably interconnected. This project searches for compassion, hope and a positive way forward to cherish this, our beautiful planet Earth.” So read the sleeve notes for The Rhythms of Migration album from Eliza Marshall’s Freedom to Roam - a humanitarian and environmental project that was conceived during a visit to the Outer Hebrides in 2018.

The Rhythms of Migration Eliza Marshall’s Freedom To Roam Composed by Dónal Rogers SEEKERS Visual Artist - Amelia Kosminsky With Seekers, I wanted to explore different modes of travel, whether that be hot air balloons, cross country trains or journeying by boat. The music gave a sense of a forward motion, an exploratory feel. When Eliza wondered whether travel could expand beyond earth, I felt that the video for this track should end somewhere placed between space and earth.
