Folk at The Chapel presents iyatraQuartet

Alt-folk band, iyatraQuartet make original music rooted in ancient melodies and folk tales. Their distinct vocal harmonies emerge from a rich sound world of soaring strings, the exuberant lyricism of the bass clarinet and sensitive percussion abound with groove. Delving into generations-old European traditions for inspiration, particularly the work of 12th century pioneering female composers, iyatraQuartet re-imagine songs and stories through their unique contemporary twist. Taking their name after the Hindi word for travel or pilgrimage, the band embraces this sense of journey through place and time in their music.

This concert is part of a tour for the release of iyatraQuartet’s 3rd album, Wild Green. Wild Green traces the cycle of the year celebrating the natural world in all its beauty and wildness. Many of the tracks were devised outdoors, encompassing stormy seas, the vivid greenness of late spring, a full strawberry moon, midsummer energy and a yuletide lullaby.

“Absolutely beautiful”
