Imprint

Imprint brings together the worlds of contemporary classical music, folk, & jazz, with elegant improvisation and ethereal sounds.

During the lockdown of 2020 they took to home recording, creating brand-new original tracks for Worldwide FM. A husband-and-wife team, the duo go a long way back having played together in the National Childrens Orchestra, National Youth Orchestra, and more recently studying together at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Cecilia has played with the London Sinfonietta, and not only performed in iconic venues such as Wigmore Hall and been featured on BBC Proms Extra, but has also completed concert tours of Russia and Azerbaijan. Ralph is making his name playing original, contemporary music with artists such as Yazz Ahmed. He has performed at venues across the world, including gigs in the London, Berlin, and New York jazz festivals. He has played live on BBC Radio 3’s Jazz Now, and released an album on Edition Records described as an “outstanding debut” by MOJO.
