Description:

Iluminar Productions is proud to represent the talented Baroque Folk band ‘Here be Dragons’. This 5-piece ultra-talented group of musicians manage to transport music lovers into a time long forgotten, subtly educating their audience on how folk music influenced art music (and vice versa) since the 16th century. They travel across Europe combining unexpected musical styles, influences and instrumentation while delivering exceptional instrumental performances, contrasting a selection of compositions by renowned composers with original songs by band leader, composer and musician Jan-Hendrik Harley. What is perceived to be a ‘Classical’ performance is also accessible to those who are not too familiar with this genre but who do appreciate and identify with folk music. They take the stiff upper lip out of the music and demonstrate that everyone can appreciate music from this era. Purchase your R120 ticket at Webtickets
