Rootnotes (a regular user of the Village Hall) presents Bird Tunes:
Concert with Miranda Rutter and Rob Harbron
Saturday 25th April, 7.30pm at Alwington Village Hall.
Fiddle / viola player and composer Miranda Rutter will be joined by Rob Harbron on concertina to present Bird Tunes, an exquisite new suite of folk tunes with birdsong at their core. Miranda has crafted every tune in the project out of fragments of birdsong which she recorded on her phone during woodland walks near her home. The suite is both a love-song to the intricacy and beauty of birdsong, and a timely reminder of the struggles with habitat loss and human-made dangers faced by migrating birds today.
During the afternoon, Miranda will be teaching some of her newly composed tunes from the album in a music workshop for instrumentalists. This is suitable for acoustic instruments and will be taught primarily by ear. Explore the birdsong of the woodland on your instrument under Miranda’s expert tuition!
Workshop: 2.00 – 4.30pm
