SUMMARY:Lev's Violin
DESCRIPTION:Born with a beautiful sound but no name\, Lev’s Violin was valued as worthless. Although its origins remained a mystery\, many tales were attached to Lev’s Violin\, some true and some wonderfully untrue…\nOld and worn by its travels\, Lev’s Violin eventually broke a few years ago\, and the instrument became the subject of a book by Helena Attlee\, Lev’s Violin: An Italian Adventure\, which reached many thousands of listeners when it was broadcast as BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week. \n\nThe violin has since been through an extensive restoration and\, having passed through the hands of countless musicians\, travelled continents and played the music of many cultures\, it is now in the possession of Greg Lawson.\n\nAn acclaimed violinist\, composer and conductor who has held principal and leading positions in most of the orchestras in Scotland\, Greg Lawson is joined by former Moishe’s Bagel bandmate and accordionist Phil Alexander for this special series of concerts. Follow the journey of Lev’s Violin and hear some of the music from its past\, from Bach and Arvo Part to Armenian and Macedonian music and Klezmer.

SUMMARY:The Long Arc with Robin Walter
DESCRIPTION:In The Long Arc\, Robin Walter reads a collection of nature and environmental-themed poems accompanied by music and imagery. \n‘The Long Arc’ consists of 3 pieces of writing on environmental themes\, accompanied by recorded music and visual images.\n‘Arbor Vitae’ is a poetic version of Robin’s book ‘Living With Trees’\, with images by Juliet Wimhurst.\n‘Cleave’ is a collection of poems that trace our estrangement from nature\, our enslavement to the treadmill of ‘progress’\, and how we might address this.\n‘Invocation’ is an invitation to the four elements\, in their benign forms\, to come to us and enrich our lives\, set to the famous music of Barber’s Adagio. \nRobin Walter is a forester and writer living in Dorset. His tree work over the last 30 years has included climbing\, felling\, management and consultancy. His publications include Living With Trees (Little Toller 2020) and a poetic version of the book published in Evolving The Forest (art.earth 2020). These explore our relationship with trees as a portal to the wider natural world. His poems have been included in Tears in the Fence journal.

SUMMARY:CLAYSON SINGS CHANSON
DESCRIPTION:CLAYSON SINGS CHANSON has been on the road since the beginning of 2011 to tie-in with the most recent edition of Alan Clayson’s  Jacques Brel biography\, La Vie Bohème – and it will be coming to Guggleton Farm Arts\, Station Road\, Stalbridge\, Dorset DT10 2RQ on Saturday 18th of May.  \nAs well as works by Jacques Brel\, Charles Aznavour\, Scott Walker and other chansonniers\, Gallic and English\, singer Alan Clayson and keyboard player Andy Lavery – venture into curious but connected realms\, ranging from an arrangement of French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine’s ‘Un Grand Sommeil Noir’ to Dave Dee\, Dozy\, Beaky\, Mick and Tich’s ‘Last Night In Soho’ – sung absolutely straight – and\, by contrast\, ‘Sweeney Todd The Barber’ – which Alan used to do with his group Clayson and the Argonauts\, but hadn’t unveiled in public for a quarter of a century.  Prefaced by an explanatory talk that is as entertaining as it is educational this show will appeal to both chanson devotees\, those interested generally in Gallic culture and folk merely seeking fun.

SUMMARY:Artsreach  Basset
DESCRIPTION:Toronto-based indie-folk duo\, Basset\, are full of timeless heart\nBased in Toronto\, indie-folk duo Basset bring a deep love of the natural world to their gorgeously meditative performances\, exploring themes of life in change\, their travels around Northern Ontario\, the Canadian and American prairies and the many characters who have crossed their paths. \nAcoustic songwriters Sam Clark and Yasmine Shelton will take you through the city streets in the hours before the world has woken\, or to a corrugated steel home north of the treeline. \nWith comparisons to The Milk Carton Kids\, Hozier\, and Bon Iver\, their inventiveness shines on fiddle and intricate harmonies\, with Shelton and Clark’s voices wrapping around each other like twin flames in a warm fire. \nHaving caught the attention of the Artsreach team at a conference in Canada\, we’re delighted to share Basset with our audiences in Dorset this autumn. \nwww.bassettheband.com
