We have listened to your feedback and, as so many asked for this opportunity, we're delighted to present a pilot night that invites group participation into our Original event format. This special gathering invites you, our audience, to become a bit Nightingale. Involvement is not essential and guests are free to just listen but this session welcomes participation and vocal collaboration in this age-old dialogue between humans and Nightingales. Rounds and verse will be taught earlier in the evening to support but moments of guided free improvisation will also be explored.

Our evening begins gathered at the fireside, where welcome drinks await. Before dusk approaches, we’ll be led on a short ecological tour experiencing and unravelling the evening chorus and discovering the rich biodiversity of our ancient woodland. Returning to the warmth of the campfire, a two-course vegan dinner awaits accompanied by a selection of herbal brews, wines, beers, and ciders.

As night falls, we'll share in traditional folklore, Nightingale histories, and learn some carefully selected simple folk songs chosen from the repertoire of Nightingale-inspired music before embarking on a silent walk through the darkness to find our singers. Here, under a blanket of stars, we’ll try out our own unique musical collaboration with these masterful improvisers. As midnight passes, we’ll make our way back across the starry fields to the campsite and carriages.

No previous musical experience is required. Whether you wish to lift your voice in song or simply listen as Sam, your guest musician and the group forge their musical connections, all involvements are welcome.

Celebrated and award winning Senegalese kora player Kadialy Kouyate and the UK’s most prominent Klezmer Accordionist Josh Middleton (Don Kipper) perform a unique and new collaboration.

This intercultural journey will bring together the Griot traditions of West Africa and the living heritage of Ashkenazi Klezmer to create a new co-territoriality, for a 21st Century London, where Kora meets Klezmer.

Israeli singer songwriter, celebrated vocalist and dancer Noga Ritter will bring her quartet of musicians from around the world. They will deliver her unique fusion of Hebrew Jazz and global grooves.

She released her album ‘IMA’ last may to great reviews. Her album fuses soaring trumpet solos over Gnawa grooves, Jewish melodies backed with Senegalese sabar drums and blissful kora improvising alongside subtle Israeli jazz piano.
