- Notes: Sofie Salonika is a hybrid group delving into Sephardic, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic songs, presenting concerts filled with compelling new interpretations on traditional works, and spicy, original Balkan – inspired compositions featuring melodic virtuosity, groove and improvisation, with hints of Bluegrass, whimsical jazz and nocturnal funk. Formed in 2013, Sophie Salonika is led by internationally renowned multi-instrumentalists Katie Down (ukelele, flute, voice) and Jessica Lurie (sax, flute, accordion, voice). They are joined by the in-demand rhythm section of Arthur Kell on acoustic bass and Brian Alder on percussion, with Mark Ettinger on cello and voice helping round out their dynamic rich sound!
