Lizzie Ball and Morgan Szymanski present ‘Viva la Vida con Frida: A musical journey through the life, times and art of Frida Kahlo’

     With the Art Out Loud 2017 festival presented by Chatsworth, arrives the première of Viva la vida con Frida, created and performed by the renowned Mexican guitarist Morgan Szymanski and the internationally acclaimed violinist and vocalist Lizzie Ball. The show presents a musical journey that explores the life, art and fashion of Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), one of the 20th century’s leading female artists.

     Szymanski and Ball reveal the inextricable links between Frida’s extraordinary life, her art, the historical context and the Surrealists (including Leonora Carrington). Viva la Vida con Frida talks about Frida’s life and work, as well as representing these through images and live music.

      Morgan Szymanski is known as one of the finest solo classical guitarists of his generation. He founded the non-profit venture PRISMA, providing arts workshops for children in Mexico, of which Lizzie is a proud ambassador.

     Lizzie’s career highlights include her creation of Classical Kicks – kaleidoscopic classical shows in Ronnie Scott’s and an annual festival in Derbyshire; as well as solo performances with Jeff Beck, Brian Wilson and Nigel Kennedy on international stages from Wigmore Hall to Madison Square Garden.
