Herne Hill Music Festival: Magic Tree Collective performing live

Join us at the Carnegie Library Hub for an afternoon of Folk Fusion with Garwyn and David Edward, the founders of the Magic Tree Collective, a platform for a multitude of creative projects all centred around a core ethos of celebrating the magic of nature through integrating music with art, poetry, meditation, and movement.

The collective cultivates a vibrant eco system of artists and creators in the community through a variety of diverse projects bringing together artists from different cultural backgrounds and artistic disciplines. Drawing on folk music traditions, they compose and improvise original music in a variety of performances, events, and festivals with a recent highlight being a project with Sinfonia Cymru.

As a duo, Garwyn and David bring new and re-imagined Celtic folk music with voice, cello, and violin. Expect a range of arrangements of Welsh folk songs and original works that bring in elements of the traditions of their mixed ethnic heritage.

REVIEWS

“The Magic Tree Collective … stunned us with their creative approach to combining classical and folk music. … an innovative programme of classical music reimagined, creating a truly unique offering … ” (Conwy Classical Music Festival)

“There’s a difference between attending a music gig and having fun and attending a ceremony. David and Garwyn (offer) a transformative journey through sound but their deep connection to the meaning, their why for performing the music, takes the audience beyond the surface, in a dimension where everything is connected … real art in true service of spirit that is what … the world needs right now!” (Roxani Eleni Garefalaki, Therapist, Performance Artist, Founder of Iasis UK)

Doors open 30mins before the performance.
