French artist Cecile Corbel on tour in Australia
From february 29 to march 16 2008, the french harpist and folk singer from Brittany Cecile Corbel will be on tour in Australia.
She will perform with her trio for the Fringe Adelaide (South Australia), at Port Fairy folk festival, at the NorthCote Social Club (Melbourne) and at the Yackandandah Folk Festival (Victoria).
“Imagine a red haired Celt from Brittany (France), with a voice that hovers somewhere between Kate Bush, the purity of Sinead O Connor and the mysticism of Enya and you’ll have a good idea what this remarkable young harpist, arranger of traditional songs and original songwriter sounds like.
Corbel belong to this new generation of European folkies, (…) In the sense that she is happy to take crusty old folk standards and reinvent them for the 21st-century audience…”
(BE- Sydney morning Herald – February 2007)
Following the path of prestigious musicians, the young Breton composer and singer now performs her Celtic and world music with her musicians in France and all over the world.
