Join Steve Roud, author of Folk Song in England and The New Penguin Book of English Folksongs, for a talk on the history of English folk.
Steve will give a concise history of English traditional folk song – from a time when singing out loud was normal everyday behaviour. ----- BOOK HERE: https://www.ticketsoxford.com/events/singing-england ----- Every year the Oxford Chamber Music Festival brings together some of the most exciting classical musicians in Europe to live and play together for a week. Creative sparks fly as the musicians change musical partners and master the widest variety of sound-worlds.This year’s festival celebrates the infinite variety of music from the British Isles, across four centuries and four nations: from Celtic folk influences to English pastoral; from Renaissance fantasy to Radiohead; from the internationally-celebrated Vaughan Williams, Elgar and Britten to hidden treasures and exciting finds by composers you may not even have heard of – yet!
