CARLA KIHLSTEDT ‘2 FOOT YARD’

Carla Kihlstedt-violin, Marika Hughes-cello, Shahzad Ismaily-guitar, percussie, electronics

Emotional intensity in vocals and violin playing, an indefinable and intelligent mixture of classical music, art rock and East European influences, a performance that shifts from intimate to rough with songs that critic Paul de Barros reminded him of Charles Ives. Carla Kihlstedt worked with giants like Tom Waits and John Zorn, who releases their first album on the Tzadik label. With Tin Hat and Sleepy Time Gorilla museum Kihlstedt recently made a strong impression on the Bimhuis public.
