midori jaeger is a cellist and songwriter originally from Japan. She headlines Stone Nest with an intimate and captivating performance to launch her new EP (Re)planted with a band. 

(Re)planted and her previous EP (Un)planted draw upon a childhood spent across multiple continents and an adulthood geographically separated from family, exploring themes of displacement, belonging, heritage, and solace found in creative expression. The songs were written at the cello, an instrument that was once a living tree. The cello and the songs together draw poignant parallels between the natural world and the human search for home, and self. 

Strikingly personal and totally unique in style, midori’s music has been championed by The New York Times (‘Ten Songs We’re Talking About This Week’), CLASH, The Line of Best Fit, BBC Radio 3, BBC 6 Music and KEXP.

midori is a genre-defying collaborator who has recently performed with Imogen Heap, Jessie Ware, Courtney Pine, Patrick Watson, Daughter, Tanita Tikaram and Christian Löffler. 

For this performance midori will be joined by: 

Ben Brown - Drums

Maria Chiara Argirò - Piano

Liran Donin - Bass

Felix Higginbottom - Percussion/Samples

Opening is Kerensa. Kerensa is a gender and genre fluid independent artist you'll never unsee (in the best way). With a multi instrumental classical background and having taken inspiration from just about everything under the sun, they are a pick n' mix in musical form and you'll be glad you joined them on their sonic journey.
