Stevens & Pound

A chance to see an unprecedented collaboration between BBC Radio 3’s award-winning Delia Stevens and three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Musician of the Year nominee Will Pound, as they follow the creative evolution of the classical composers inspired by folk.

The pair combine the traditional instruments of Pound’s melodeon and harmonica with the dizzying array of Stevens’ percussion, and then let their imaginations run riot while paying homage to their respective musical roots.

Stevens’ work ranges from reimagining Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with percussion for Sky Arts, presenting her own BBC Radio 3 series Music and Machines and performing Avner Dorman’s prolific 360° percussion concerto at Prague’s ‘Last Night of the Proms’ with the Beethoven Academy Orchestra.

Pound has created touring projects questioning Brexit, featuring a traditional tune from every EU state, and has explored the history of Morris Dance with Martin Simpson and storyteller Debs Newbold in ‘Through the Seasons’.
