|  | Karen Tweed Tweed's sensibilities straddle classical and traditional modes with the agility of Margot Fonteyn and the fluency of someone bi-lingual since birth. This is a music tethered to neither a time nor a location”, so says Siobhan Long of the Irish Times. Karen Tweed is highly respected for her collaborative work, yet she is also a brilliant soloistÉso at one with her instrument. Solo, she is inviting audiences for an evening which explores the beauty, fun and magic of the music of Ireland, Scandinavia and England.... her touch and musicality is quite extraordinary, forever breaking accordionesque preconceptions and boundaries. Breathtaking! Her current collaborations are with the Finnish pianist Timo Alakotila in May Monday (duo or quartet) and the new and exciting Circa Compania: a 14-piece all female music, song and dance project premiered at the Sage, Gateshead recently.
