JOGLARESA. Skipton Music 2017-2018 Season, Concert 3

Skipton Music Society

Celebrate Yule effervescently with Joglaresa, and chase out the chill from the Celtic fringes of Europe. Traditional and medieval wassails with fidel, harp, bells, bagpipes and voices – Joglaresa ring in Christmas and the New Year with a programme titled 'Make We Mirth'.

This London-based ensemble has been playing since 1992. Now well established, they are particularly interesting for the way in which they imaginatively push, and often transcend, the limits of what is thought of as early music. Their work focuses on connecting ancient and traditional music, using their combined experiences of mixed cultural upbringings to create a homogeneous sound. Recognised as being experts in their field, Joglaresa have performed at many British and European early music festivals.
