2022/23 Season
November-February
November-February
It has always been the role of folk music to reflect the cultural currents and climates of its era. The voices of each new generation challenge us to listen, to retune our social practices, and to reassess the values and customs that bind or break us. In this project we explore the voices true to our own communities and experiences, highlight them, and offer our own words to the conversation. With a strong emphasis on compositions by women, our curated contemporary program will articulate facets of the turbulent times in which we find ourselves. Through the mediums of cello, fiddle, harp and song we will present original and local works expressing conflict and change, hope and despair, passion, confusion and protest.
