Emma Peters Fous

Das Orchester l'arte del mondo unter der Leitung von Werner Ehrhardt ist immer auf der Suche nach herausragenden musikalischen Wiederentdeckungen und sorgt mit den Weltersteinspielungen in der Reihe »Opern aus den Archiven der Welt« immer wieder für Aufsehen.

Finn Peters is a flautist and saxophonist. He studied music at Durham University before taking the postgraduate jazz course at Guildhall School of Music. He is a member of the F-IRE Collective and the contemporary classical music group Noszferatu. He has also worked with Two Banks of Four and Matthew Herbert and recorded under the names Bansuri and Finntech. In September 2006, he released his first album under his own name, Su-ling, recorded with a band including guitarist Dave Okumu, pianist Nick Ramm, bassist Tom Herbert and drummer Tom Skinner. It was selected as a Jazzwise album of the year for 2006.
In 2006, Finn was also chosen as part of the Jerwood Rising Stars programme. In July 2007, the Finn Peters Quintet (or 'Finntet') beat the bands of Stan Tracey and Byron Wallen in the best jazz group category of the BBC Radio 3 Jazz Awards

The debut album by Emma-Jean Thackray feels exactly like the sort of thing we’ve been longing for over the last 12 months: a transcendent, human, shared experience. Across its 49 minutes, Yellow draws glowing lines between ‘70s jazz fusion and P-Funk, the cosmic invocations of Sun Ra and Alice Coltrane, and the gorgeous orchestration of the Beach Boys.
