Shadowlands

Join vibrant group Kit Downes, Lauren Kinsella and Robin Fincker, for an evening of modern and folk music with a repertoire of improvisation and original compositions.

Inspired by a blend of early music, folk and plainchant Shadowlands weaves a form of contemporary chamber music rich in sonic textures. The three vibrant voices well known to European creative music scenes and adept of the crossing of genres, agree to jump together into the unknown, with a repertoire where improvisation rubs shoulders with centuries-old melodies and original compositions. Thus the language of Kit Downes, an essential pianist of the new British scene, mixes with that of the Anglophile saxophonist and clarinetist Robin Fincker and the Irish singer Lauren Kinsella in a common desire to question slowness and good gestures.  The weaving and singing melodies are surrounded by a halo of shimmering and moving sound material and little by little, the shadows stretch and come alive…

Presented by Kings Place.
