A Tribute (of sorts) to Monteverdi

In 2007, the director of the Edinburgh International Festival Jonathan Mills invited Martyn Jacques's band to stage a tribute to one of Europe's most revered composers. Teaming up with Concerto Caledonia, The Tiger Lillies bring their unique perspective, taking an upside down and sideways look at Monteverdi’s music.

A Tribute (of sorts) to Monteverdi is a unique concert which fuses The Tiger Lillies' rough cabaret songs with sweet Baroque tones of Concerto Caledonia.
Concerto Caledonia is an early music group from Scotland which brings this nation’s classical and traditional music to life.

Comments:

The British cult-orchestra The Tiger Lillies and the Scottish Baroque-ensemble was both a grotesque and beautiful experience for the audience.

Jyllandsposten

A Tiger Lillies gig is a journey into wild emotion that passes right through melodrama and out the other side into bizarre beauty.

The Evening Standard

In an ideal world, the Tiger Lillies would represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest.
