Folksong reimagined across generations, borders, and eras.After forging a close musical bond in contemporary repertoire, Lotte Betts-Dean and Joseph Havlat turn to a tradition that is anything but fixed. KIN explores folksong as a living, evolving art, melodies and stories passed between generations, reshaped by memory, place, and imagination.
Alongside now classic arrangements by Britten, Bartók and Grainger and rarities by E.J. Moeran and Doreen Senior, new commissions from Josephine Stephenson, Isabella Gellis and Louise Drewett bring fresh perspectives to this shared inheritance. Rooted in the duo’s own sense of cultural identity, at once Australian, European, and diasporic, this is a programme that moves fluidly across borders and eras, held together by an instinctive, finely balanced partnership.
