EVENTS COMING UP…
We’re delighted to welcome the amazing US a cappella trio Heartwood to the NE and Cumbria as part of their UK tour. We have three events with them where you can get to experience their unique take on harmony singing.
March 12th Gosforth Civic Theatre, Newcastle NE3 3HD
March 15th St Michael’s Church, Workington CA14 2EZ
Heartwood is a trio of singers and instrumentalists creating new music born from time in wild places. With rich vocal harmonies and inviting lyrics, these singers and instrumentalists create music in collaboration with the natural world and weave songs that welcome people to join in the singing. Heidi Wilson, Sarina Partridge, and Willy Clemetson first came together as a trio in 2021 during a songwriting intensive on a small island in Lake Superior. Since then, they have toured in the USA performing and teaching workshops; written an original musical together, ‘The Well Tree,’ and recorded an album of songs from wild places. This will be their first tour of the UK as a band, and they are excited to connect with singing communities across the pond!
Wed March 12th - Gosforth Civic Theatre, NE3 3HD

Immerse yourself in an experience of embodied, joyful, and connected singing with the skilled songleaders and facilitators of Heartwood. Sarina, Willy and Heidi will bring original, harmony-rich, accessible songs that grow out of time spent in wild places, speaking to the wild without and within. All songs will be taught in the oral tradition, no need to read sheet music to participate. All voices are welcome and needed!
