Heritage Playhouse: Medusa – on Tour in BC

Featuring Georgia Hathaway, Lea Kirstein, Marta Sołek, and Saskia Tomkins. Wielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet. By inviting back voices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful.

With their CFMA (Canadian Folk Music Award) nominated debut EP, Medusa’s dynamic arrangement style cross-pollinates the sounds of Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music, as well as original tunes, to create something previously unheard.
