Description

Calstock Arts are thrilled to have musicians from Birmingham?s award-winning early music group, K?antu Ensemble, returning to The Old Chapel. Join us for a performance of historical folk music from across the globe, exploring traditions and folklore behind some of the ensemble?s favourite tunes.

Founded in 2012 by Ruth Hopkins, K?antu Ensemble take their name from an ancient style of Peruvian and Bolivian music and dance. Their colourful and energetic arrangements combine elements of world music with historically informed techniques, bringing early music to new audiences.

Since their last performance at Calstock back in 2017, they have played various venues across the UK, including Birmingham Symphony Hall, Cadogan Hall in London and Manchester?s Bridgewater Hall. Most recently, they have enjoyed leading a range of performances across Birmingham for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Festival.
