Filomena Campus returns to The Pheasantry to launch
her new album, Theatralia (33Jazz Records), with her all-star band: Steve
Lodder on piano, Rod Youngs on drums, and Charlie Pyne on double bass. The set
features original multilingual compositions co-written with Lodder and Pyne,
including a solo vocal interpretation of a Jobim classic. Blending jazz,
improvisation, and spoken word, the performance unfolds as a vibrant and
theatrical musical journey. Campus draws audiences into the worlds of visionary
women artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle and Franca Rame, the dreamlike realm
of Shakespeare’s Queen Mab, the mythical Janas of Sardinian folklore, and the
irresistible voices of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey.
