My debut EP 'In Eynem' is released on the 15th April on the Spirituals/ Phantom Limb label. 
​

Listen and pre-save the EP here. 

This is long overdue - an offering I could see being released many moons ago. But life has many twists and turns, and it seems now is the time to start sharing my sounds with you all in an incremental and gentle way. My creative journey until now has been rich and the  connections I have made and collaborations I encountered thus far have all led me to this point.  'In Eynem' means 'united' in Yiddish, a word which felt apt for the present time. The importance of interconnectivity and community is what grounds and centres the music in this release.  In Eynem is a portal, a way to enter into my musical world. A kind of introduction. The textures, sounds and traditional music I work with have surrounded me for many years and I is nice to share this. 
The recording is a live performance at Laylow in W10, London, a moment in time that was beautifully captured, mixed and mastered by Dyre Gormsen. The performances was a support show for one of my favourite bands - Hejira - and I thank them for the opportunity.  And I'm happy to bravely share it with you all as a humble first release and hopefully the first of many.

Thanks to an amazing campaign led by Kate Gillespie, Jan Ryan, Lucy Lyons and myself, plus immense support from the Margate community, shops & businesses, local and national press and an emergency high profile crowdfunding campaign, we were able to save the old Margate Synagogue from auction, where it would likely be developed into flats or become a private home.

At the last minute an anonymous benefactor stepped in to buy the building so that it can be turned into an arts space for the local community and we are now raising funds to develop the building and convert it into the Cliftonville Cultural Space.

I've finally built my own studio down in Margate, fully treated with acoustic panelling (that I made myself - and it's pink!) and it's sounding great. This has a been a long time coming. It is a privilege to have created such a personalised and sacred space to work in. As a woman working in the music industry it is also an empowering step in steering my own creative ship and developing my work and career, 

I'm available for remote recording sessions on cello and voice, string arranging, remixes, productions and commissions. Get in touch if you'd like to collaborate with or hire me! Thanks, F x

The News Agents - 'Yja' on Resonance 104.4fm with Jude Cowan Montague

A pleasure to natter lockdown style on Zoom with Jude, Ana Silvera and myself last week putting together this feast of chat and music relating to our new Ladino project Yja:



​Sat 9 May - Ana Silvera & Francesca Ter-berg - Yja - LADINO Ana Silvera and Francesca Ter-berg introduce their project Yja – reimagining the Ladino songs of Ana's ancestors. The debut single, La Serena is one of many songs sung from a female perspective in Judeo-Spanish and which continued to be performed in domestic environments the Sephardic diaspora, particularly in eastern Europe. Archives, oral history, folk tales and the classically influenced early music revival are all part of the picture we have of Ladino music and help us speculate about music in the past. Songs about love, first crushes, revenge, snapshots of the time. Silvera and Ter-berg talk about their approach to the music as professional music-makers and composers.
