Forthcoming shows featuring the same performers:
Sam Lee & friends: A Folksong and an Oaksong
Earth Unwrapped | Meeting is a Pleasant Place
A collaborative concert as part of Sam Lee’s Earth Unwrapped residency, featuring tree wisdom, poems, anecdotes and folk songs inspired by trees, which will invoke the cultural heritage this species holds within our culture and society. Featuring Jonathan Drori and Angharad Wynne, alongside Sam Lee himself.
The hollow oak has been a wonder-place of folktales, myth, subterfuge and balladic encounters throughout history and Kings Place’s Hall One is, in many ways, no exception. A room made entirely of one tree ‘Contessa’ a 500-year-old German oak, this musical wooden portal has been a meeting place of music and ideas since it opened its doors.
This event will last approximately 90 minutes, without an interval.
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
About Jonathan Drori:
Jonathan Drori CBE, tree-lover and evangelist for plant science, is on the Board of Cambridge and Oxford Botanic Gardens and previously the Kew Gardens and The Eden Project. His botanical TED talks have been viewed millions of times and his book, Around the World in 80 Trees is a worldwide bestseller.
About Angharad Wynne:
Angharad has spent much of her life following her feet along pathways back through the portals of ancient myth, folklore, song and poetry of Britain. Today, she draws together the fragments of our tradition to help guide and sustain a living spiritual practice, connected to this land and her creatures. She shares her contemporary practice through retreats, storytelling gatherings, ceremony, writings and pilgrimages. These are conceived as radical acts of re-membering our soulful, deep humanity and re-weaving ourselves back into fully engaged participation within the web of life. She is the founder of Dreamingtheland and co-founder of The Animate Earth Collective.
