Albion and The Nightingales
Manage episode 415627721 series 2639965
In the still of a spring night, we journey into the woods with musicians Sam Lee and Jack Durtnall to hear the beautiful and increasingly rare song of the nightingale with a concert and conversation around the campfire.
Artistic Director Josephine Burton treads lightly in the footsteps of a historic partnership between the nightingale and humans. The BBC’s first ever live outside broadcast was recorded exactly 100 years ago in May 1924 as cellist Beatrice Harrison played alongside a nightingale. Our episode is the start of a new series of Dash Arts podcasts exploring the relationship between art and nature, and part of Dash's current season, Albion; an investigation of modern Englishness in all its complexity. Join us as we travel across landscape and language, digging deep into folk and written histories, oral traditions, music, storytelling, theatre and performance.
Visit the Singing With Nightingales website to find out more about Sam’s work and to join him on such a magical evening in the woods.
In the podcast we’re grateful to hear from:
Josephine Burton - Artistic Director of Dash Arts
Sam Lee - Musician and Conservationist
Jack Durtnall - Musician
