Methera Play Cecil Sharp House

Celebrating 10 years together, this groundbreaking folk string quartet launch their 3rd album Vortex in November.
Methera is a unique ensemble: a string quartet with roots firmly planted in the musical traditions of England, Sweden and beyond. Their national tours, BBC Radio 3 broadcasts and collaborations have helped them establish a reputation as a scintillating live act.

Ten years on from their first public appearance they are as captivating and innovative as ever and celebrate with a national tour and the launch of their third album Vortex.
METHERA; Lucy Deakin (cello), John Dipper and Emma Reid (fiddles) and Miranda Rutter (viola) combine a deep knowledge of traditional music with a wide range of other influences and expertise and a deep sense of musical interaction. Newly composed pieces sit alongside timeless traditional material; their music is both sophisticated and earthy, groundbreaking and familiar, enchanting and thrilling - chamber folk at its best.
