Anna Lowenstein
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Fran & Flora
\n Experimental Yi
ddish folk duo
\n \n Hailing from Londo
n\, Fran & Flora perform contemporary reworkings o
f Yiddish music from their critically acclaimed al
bum Precious Collection (2024) \, which “
time-travels brilliantly between solid folk origin
s and avant-garde play\, with a surprise at every
corner” (Jude Rogers\, The Guardian).
\n \n
Drawing on archival source material\, recovered ma
nuscripts\, and studies with traditional musicians
\, Fran & Flora treat tradition as a living\, adap
table source\, reshaping it into something urgent\
, sensitive\, and entirely contemporary.
\n F
or audiences drawn to artists who blur the lines b
etween past and future\, acoustic and electronic\,
folk and experimental\, Fran & Flora offer someth
ing rare: music that feels deeply rooted yet compl
etely untamable.
\n \n Line-up:
\n Francesca Ter-Berg (UK/D) - ce
llo\, voice
\n Flora Curzon
(UK) - violin\, voice

\n <

\n Through the Walls\, a Yiddish string quarte
t
\n \n Anna Lowenstein is one o
f the UK’s leading exponents of the klezmer fiddle
tradition. Her latest project is a string quartet
featuring British klezmer luminaries Flora Curzon
on violin\, Meg Hamilton on viola\, and Francesca
Ter-Berg on cello. The ensemble draws upon the me
lodies of Eastern European Jewish folk music while
exploring the rich expressive possibilities of th
e string quartet.
\n \n Lowenstein’s explora
tion of the genre is inventive and intensely joyfu
l. She and her colleagues perform with verve and g
usto as they recreate what she calls the “sound wo
rld” of her childhood\, in which the languages of
Beethoven\, Bartók\, and Shostakovich mingled with
Yiddish music.
\n \n The program\, titled <
em>Through the Walls\, skillfully incorporate
s storytelling\, ethnographic interviews\, and fie
ld recordings from Stamford Hill. It draws on the
world of Eastern European Jewry\, with its soulful
melodies and haunting tonalities\, while introduc
ing audiences to the sound world of a brilliant yo
ung violinist and composer whose artistic vision i
s deeply rooted in the traditions of diasporic Jew
ish music yet directed toward the future — a futur
e beyond the cruelties and barbarism of the presen
t.
