The fruitful collaboration of French-born saxophonist-clarinetist Robin Fincker and British pianist Kit Downes goes back decades. Their life paths have taken them from London to two different countries in Europe, and they met again three years ago when they teamed up with Irish singer Lauren Kinsella to set traditional songs and contemporary poetry to music.

After their first album Ombres, released on BMC Records in March 2024, they are now presenting their newest project Many Moons, also to be recorded before the concert.

With Many Moons, Shadowlands continues its journey between old and new music, shedding light on the unheard corners of past songs whilst unfolding its own version of contemporary folk music.

For this new repertoire, the trio has refined its language and has developed a free yet dazzlingly clear way of floating between songs. In this space, traditional Sean Os songs, poems by Emily Dickinson and Yeats and a Sainte by Maurice Ravel cohabit with original compositions.

Through the flicking light, the voice of Lauren Kinsella hovers like a planet around which the saxophone and keyboards gravitate and circle, thus creating music of a timeless revolution.
