The Rose-Burnt Passage

Folk melodies are expert time travelers – superimposing the past on the present, constantly straining forward and circling back in their passage through different hands and traditions. Some Strange Harmony (harmonium, violin, vocals) joins in these meandering journeys, intertwining inspirations from around the world with our own compositions and re-imaginings. We’ve been told our music sounds medieval, hymnal, funereal, and our favourite, ‘like you’re about to sacrifice a goat’. Our show questions received notions of time and freedom, exploring the complexities of nostalgia, the untraceability of origins, and the unknowability of end-points. No goats actually sacrificed!
