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’.
