About
The Babylonia Suite, composed by Toronto drummer and composer Ilios Steryannis, is a celebration of Iraqi Jewish music and culture. The suite follows the movement of a family from Baghdad to Mumbai to Manchester, and finally Toronto. Expect elements of jazz, funk, Middle and Near Eastern sounds, and Ilios' trademark energetic percussion. It follows his debut album Bethany Project released in January 2018 to rave reviews and extensive airplay worldwide.
The six-part suite's world premiere will be performed during the first set of the evening with the second set will feature other works from Ilios' catalogue
