Misha Mullov - Abbado Group: Cambridge Summer Music Festival

Under Misha’s direction the group performs his original compositions and arrangements, influenced by a broad spectrum of music in the classical, jazz and pop genres as well folk traditions from around the world, particularly from South America.

The music contains chorale-based and contemporary-classical styles that are influenced by Bach and Brahms, right through to Stravinsky and Bartok and beyond, as well as jazz musicians such as Bill Frisell. Misha’s music is also heavily based on swing, funk and other groove-based styles influenced by Avishai Cohen, Ray Brown, Gareth Lockrane and Jasper Høiby, and pop giants Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire.
