Italy’s leading and longest-standing traditional music ensemble and Melbourne-based trio provide a soundtrack to the London skyline in an exclusive roof-top gig.

Formed in 1975, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino hails from the Salento, the heel of the Italian boot, in Puglia. Italy's fascinating blend of tradition and modernity comes together in the music of CGS. The seven-piece band, accompanied by a dancer, lead a new wave of young performers re-inventing Southern Italy's pizzica musical and dance traditions for today's global audience.

The Mae Trio is Maggie Rigby (banjo, ukulele, guitar, marimba and vocals), Elsie Rigby (fiddle, ukulele and vocals) and Anita Hillman (cello, bass and vocals). They started playing music together in late 2011. All three members of the trio write their own songs, which are arranged to suit their diverse instrumental talents and love of three-part vocal harmony. The Mae Trio won the 2013 Folk Alliance Youth Award at the National Folk Festival.

Your ticket gives you exclusive access to the garden for the event: please note that there is limited seating (other than the grass) and some views of the musicians may be obscured.
