About:
Filomena Campus returns to The Vortex with a passionate musical journey that blends music and improvisation with spoken word, masks, and comic sketches. The set features new compositions co-written with Steve Lodder and Charlie Pyne, alongside fresh arrangements from her extensive repertoire and international collaborations. She is joined by an all-star band: Steve Lodder on piano, Rod Youngs on drums, and Charlie Pyne on double bass.
Internationally renowned and award-winning vocalist, lyricist, theatre practitioner, academic, and radio presenter, Campus has recently received the honour of ‘Cavaliera (Dame) of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic’. Her diverse influences range from literature, theatre and performance art to the culture of her native Sardinia. Filomena has collaborated with musicians such as Orphy Robinson, Rowland Sutherland, Cleveland Watkiss, Steve Williamson, Laura Cole, Byron Wallen, Jean Toussaint, Ruth Goller, Kenny Wheeler, Evan Parker, Nana Simopoulos, and the London Improvisers Orchestra, as well as with fellow Sardinian musicians Paolo Fresu, Gavino Murgia, and Antonello Salis.
