In early 2015, singer/songwriter Joanna Wallfisch released a whimsical and wonderfully constructed recording entitled The Origin of Adjustable Things. The recording balances her own beautifully wrought originals with some handpicked covers with the assistance of pianist and musical polymath Dan Tepfer. While completing the recording, Wallfisch was invited to perform at the Salisbury Festival in the United Kingdom. The festival promoters suggested a collaboration with the Festival’s resident ensemble, The Sacconi String Quartet, a London based quartet featuring violist Robin Ashwell, cellist Cara Berridge, and violinists Ben Hancox and Hannah Dawson, which Wallfisch accepted. The ensuing new recording, Gardens In My Mind, is a collection of recent pieces arranged by both Wallfisch and Tepfer for the Sacconi Quartet along with new material that Wallfisch wrote specifically for the recording.
