Award-winning musical siblings the Rheingans Sisters are coming to the Wyseside Arts Centre next month.
The talented duo, who are one of the most visionary acts in folk music, will play the Builth Wells venue on October 15 at 7:30pm.
The Rheingans Sisters make playful, powerful and richly connecting music that is wholly contemporary while deeply anchored in folk traditions. The award-winning multi-instrumentalists, composers and folk scholars were nominated for ‘Best Duo/Group’ at 2019 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Over the last five years, three critically acclaimed albums and a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award win for ‘Best Original Track’ in 2016, audiences across the UK, Europe and Australia have been utterly captivated by their very special live performances.
Drawing on their pan-European musical scholarship and their spirited mission to make connections between the music of different geographical roots, they have developed a rich artistic approach to the deconstruction and reimagining of traditional music alongside their own beguiling compositions.
Performing live, the sisters are inimitable; full-hearted performers and spontaneous, on-stage improvisers, with the adventurous use of fiddles, voices, banjo, bansitar, tambourin à cordes, spoken word, dancing feet and percussion.
Rowan and Anna play a plethora of instruments in their live shows, many of them handmade by their luthier father Helmut Rheingans who is based in their native Peak District home
The Rheingans Sisters released their much anticipated fourth album ‘Receiver’ in 2020 on the Bendigedig Label.
