A musical stirring that combines instrumental music with poetry, song, found texts, improvisations, and a certain trademark creative curiosity.
This performance sees some of Cumbria’s finest chamber musicians come together to continue to forge a musical tradition. It has a thread woven through new music and reimagined classics, a turning of the year, an Almanac for Cumbria, a book of days.
Come and take a seat at the closing of the day with this ensemble, with their voices, wind instruments, keys, bellows, and unusual percussion. Expect the slightly unexpected as they weave musical creatures from the air and earth, sing of rivers, moons, and local legends. A new set of year-round carols to accompany the old - carrying homelessness and ambition, songs of love and of time, the crack and spin of weathers, dry-stone-walls of poems, words of grief and hope, lullabies, and tunes – well known and brand new – but mostly an invitation to be taken on a journey.
We hope you enjoy it.
