About Some Strange Harmony
The Rose-Burnt Passage is a folk music show from Some Strange Harmony, a trio of harmonium, violin and vocals. The show intertwines inspirations from around the world with the group's own compositions and re-imaginings, treating folk melodies as time travellers that superimpose the past on the present. Their music has been described as medieval, hymnal, funereal and, their favourite, like you're about to sacrifice a goat. The show questions received notions of time and freedom, exploring nostalgia, the untraceability of origins and the unknowability of end-points.
Why see this show?
A hauntingly beautiful set from a trio with a genuinely unusual sound — part folk, part medieval, part something harder to name, this is music that takes you somewhere unexpected.
