Morito, a tapas restaurant in Hackney, hosts live performances on a Tuesday night. Tonight they present composer, harpist and singer Esther Swift. The fully immersive experience sees the musicians play in the middle of the room, whilst you watch from the banquette seating, in Morito's stylish new basement space.
Likened to Kate Bush, Anna Meredith and Bjork, Esther Swift explores ritual, connection, isolation, and the natural world in her performance with pedal harp and voice. A prolific, boldly innovative harpist, composer and singer, Esther works across genres as diverse as classical chamber music and free improvisation, as well as writing for ensembles large and small. Having studied at Edinburgh’s St Mary’s Music School and the Royal Northern College of Music, as well as with harp pioneer Catriona McKay, she has received numerous prestigious commissions and featured in many international collaborations. She has travelled to Vietnam, New Zealand, Malaysia, Mongolia, and beyond with her music, and shared international, music lead collaborations with musicians and other artists around the world.
