WINDBORNE presents MUSIC OF MIDWINTER
"The most exciting vocal group in a generation" - Songlines
Singing workshop 10:30am – 3:30pm
Windborne concert 4:15 – 5:05pm
We are thrilled to be hosting Windborne again in Bath following their hugely successful workshop and concert in 2023.
Windborne specialize in close harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between dramatically different styles of traditional music. Their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions.
They will teach songs from their new album To warm the winter hearth, songs from their American roots and folk songs from other cultures collected on their travels. The workshop is open to everyone and all the songs and harmonies will be taught by ear by Jeremy, Lynn, Will and Lauren. To round off the day in style, we will become the audience and Windborne will perform for us. Concert-only tickets also available.
"Stunningly powerful vocal harmony…"
"Windborne sets a new bar for folk harmony singing today"
"Spectacularly good, utterly brilliant…"
A joyful and heartfelt celebration of song, Windborne’s lush vocals and unique arrangements bring light to a dark time, as they draw on midwinter music from traditional, classical, and folk from the US, British isles and beyond.
Windborne’s captivating performances draw on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable.
