Robin Fincker / Lauren Kinsella / Kit Downes - Shadowlands
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]The collaboration of French-born saxophonist-clarinetist Robin Fincker and British pianist Kit Downes goes back decades.
Their life paths have taken them from London to two different countries in Europe, and they met again three years ago when they teamed up with Irish singer Lauren Kinsella to set traditional songs and contemporary poetry to music.
After their first album Ombres, released on BMC Records in March 2024, they are now presenting their newest project Two Minds due for release early 2026. With Two Minds, Shadowlands continues its journey between old and new music, shedding light on the unheard corners of past songs whilst unfolding its own version of contemporary folk music.
For this new repertoire, the trio has refined its language and has developed a free yet dazzlingly clear way of floating between songs. In this space, traditional Irish sean-nós songs, poems by Emily Dickinson and Christina Rosetti and music by Maurice Ravel cohabit with original compositions and free improvisation.
