A MUSICAL ALMANAC: WINTER NOTES
The Almanac returns this winter. 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… Summer Notes become Winter Notes, a turning of the year, an Almanac for Cumbria, a book of days.
Come and take a seat at the fireside of this ensemble, with their voices, clarinet, bass clarinet, harmonium, piano and 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 carols to accompany the old - carrying homelessness and ambition, songs of love and of time, the crack and spin of winter leaves and rain, 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.
