La Folia: Musical Offerings
A transporting evening of music from La Folia under Artistic Director Howard Moody, in collaboration with Best Foot Music – an agency supporting musicians, poets and communities who have moved to the UK from around the world.
Bach’s ‘Musical Offering’, on violin, flute, cello and harpsichord, is woven with sounds from around the world like oud, ney, vocals and percussion, opening borders between musical traditions. To include Sudanese musician and poet Bashir Al Gamar’s chilling poem ‘A Child and a Doll’, speaking of a displaced child on a beach, contrasts with Shakespeare’s “isle full of noises: sounds that delight and hurt not”.
