Virtual Valley Folk Music Zoom Sings
We continue hosting a Virtual Valley Folk Sing on Zoom for singers in the folk community, even though are live concerts have resumed. Our aim is to bring some US and UK singers together to sing for each other. You have the advantage of being able to mute your mics and sing and play along at home while your fellow musicians share their favorite tunes. It’s not quite the same as being in the room, but for this trans-Atlantic bunch, it may be a perk of the lockdown to be able to see each other in this way (and one heck of a lot cheaper than a real visit). We chose the 3pm NY / 8pm UK time to suit some people who are not working long hours in the US, while not keeping the UK singers up too late.
Upcoming Valley Folk concerts:
Windborne—Songs of Midwinter
Concert at 144 Cedar Street, Corning
In the red-brick UM Church--door on First St.
This concert will be a joyful and heartfelt celebration in song. Windborne’s lush vocals and unique arrangements bring light to a dark time, as they draw on midwinter music from traditional, classical, and folk from the United States, British Isles and beyond. Unique from their typical show, the holiday spirit is accentuated with added instrumentation, from guitars and banjos to the Lithuanian Kanklės and Irish bodhran. With Windborne as our guide across continents and centuries, audiences will be delighted by hearing about holiday traditions from around the world with songs and humor suitable across generations.
Windborne’s captivating show draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. With a 20-year background studying polyphonic music around the world, the four share a vibrant energy onstage with a blending of voices that can only come from decades of friendship alongside dedicated practice. The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries. More info...
