Art Wolf

ART WOLF
Kate Westbrook, Mike Westbrook
Chris Biscoe, Pete Whyman

The Westbrooks unleash a radical new quartet on March 4th 2005 at the Kultur & Kongress Haus, Aarau, Switzerland. This performance, and the tour that follows, coincides with the release of the ART WOLF album on the Swiss label altrisuoni.
ART WOLF is inspired by the life and work of the Alpine painter Caspar Wolf (1735 - 1783) whose very signature was the image of the wolf. Through improvisation, text and formal composition, this powerful new work revolves around the role of the Artist, the"Art Wolf", and the nature of creativity.
Chris Biscoe and Pete Whyman have each worked independently with Kate and Mike Westbrook, through a series of projects over 20 years, and together as members of the Mike Westbrook Orchestra, and the current New Westbrook Orchestra. ART WOLF brings these four musicians together for the first time in a quartet context.
 
ART WOLF is available for booking from March 2005.

ART WOLF CD, produced by Jon Hiseman is released on the altrisuoni label in March 2005.
