This global mix of talented musicians creates a contemporary sound that wouldn’t seem out of place on a café Del Mar track listing. Drawing from such influences as Indian classical, hip-hop, jazz and Western classical the outcome is inspiring. Ethnic beats combined with a classical mastermind results in an hypnotic melody that whips the crowd into head-nodding frenzy. The surprise of traditional instruments played in an unconventional manner, mixed with world-class vocals of complimentary differences makes this show a must-see. Steve Collins, Adelaide Magazine. Alies Sluiter, known for her composition, production and violin performance, has put together this nifty and unusual group of Pakistani, Indian, European and Australian soloists, each a magnificent musician in their own right. The alternative blend of classical Indian motifs and Western influences are melded together in a hypnotic swirl of jazz and hip hop, classical and Middle Eastern-sounding folk for a mesmerising feel. Exceptional vocals were displayed by the main female vocalist and beautiful arrangements involving violin, cello, double bass and keyboards. Final Word: Ethereal Sian Williams, Rip it Up The interaction between the players was wonderful to watch – they were clearly enjoying themselves. Alies also handled some of the singing, and this fusion of East meets West was the perfect prescription for a balmy Sunday night. Final Word: Mesmerising! Adrian Miller, Rip it Up The Picture Box Orchestra - one of the must see gigs of the year. Tony McMahon, Inpress
