Laurence Kilsby & Harry Baker: Folk Reflections
Stone Nest, W1D 5EZ , [Venue Details]In their programme, ‘Folk Reflections: Songwriters Through the Centuries’, award-winning tenor Laurence Kilsby and pianist Harry Baker bring together the evocative storytelling of classical composers and folk songwriters.
. The pair explore the deep-rooted connection with traditional folk melodies in the works of Gabriel Faure, Antonin Dvorak, Manuel De Falla and more. Their songs, shaped by the rhythms of daily life and universal themes of love, loss, and longing, stand alongside the music of modern troubadours such as Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen, whose songs echo the same raw emotion and lyrical depth.
This programme highlights the enduring power of folk traditions, reimagined across centuries yet bound by a shared language of melody and poetry. Whether through John Dowland’s melancholic lute songs, Henry Purcell’s theatrical ballads, Benjamin Britten’s evocative folk song settings, or the confessional lyricism of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, these works transcend genre, resonating with honest expression. Kilsby and Baker invite you to journey through these musical landscapes, where past and present meet in a tapestry of song, celebrating the human stories that unite us all.
