‘Enchantingly dark’, ‘empowered orchestral sound’ and ‘unplugged sophistication’ – Beatrix Players create evocative melodies and stories of real life and fantasy. Citing influences as diverse as Michael Nyman and Regina Spektor and drawing comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush and Einaudi Ludovico, this London-based, all female trio combine elements of folk, jazz and classical music.
In 2015 the Beatrix Players took their unique sound – a beautiful combination of vocals, piano and cello – into the studio to record their self-produced debut album which has been mixed by two-time BBC Folk Award winner Jim Moray. That as-yet untitled recording is scheduled for release later in 2016. “A warm series of piano-driven songs that combine the dynamics and vocal delivery of Kate Bush with Tori Amos piano-gymnastics” – Folk Radio
