Drummer and composer Chiara Spigariol brings her innovative project Whispered Tales to PizzaExpress Live Soho, weaving stories, myths, and theatrical pieces from around the world into a vibrant mix of jazz, folk, and Latin music. Her ensemble, featuring Rebecca Edlund (vocals), Thomas Stephenson (piano), and Mark McQuillan (bass), transforms narrative into sound with creativity and emotional depth.
