English Folk Singers The Askew Sisters Virtual Concert with SFS

When: Saturday, Oct 2 2021 @ 07:00 PM (GMT-7:00)

Where: On-line - Seattle, WA

Acclaimed English Folksingers the Askew Sisters are kicking off the Seattle Folklore Society's Fall concert season with a virtual concert on Saturday Oct 2nd. Hazel's distinctive voice and prowess as a top player on the melodeon, concertina, and harp, and Emily's on Recorder, fiddle, cello, and bagpipes has seen them performing as the folk duet the Askew Sisters; Hazel with the group Lady Maisery, and both with the Artisans, with whom they have played at Buckingham Palace, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and live on BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show and Essential Classics. Their roots in traditional English folk tunes carry on the tradition to a level of integrity reminiscent of English folk icons such as Martin Carthy. The Telegraph calls their music "traditional folk in a fine, fresh, form," and Folk Works describes their latest CD as "An album of singular and iconic beauty." Your ticket allows viewing or rewatching any time from 7pm on Oct 2, up until Sunday evening. coverpicture
