STEVENS & POUND
left-field folk
Britten Sinfonia tour with Stevens & Pound and Robert MacFarlane in January 2026
BBC Radio 3’s award-winning Delia Stevens and three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Musician of the Year nominee, Will Pound present an unprecedented cross-genre collaboration following the creative evolution of classical composers who were inspired by folk.
Traditional melodeon and harmonica collide with a dizzying array of percussion instruments. Imaginations run riot within an extraordinary sonic landscape.
Stevens & Pound’s creative process of recomposition sees folk musician Will Pound learning scores exclusively by ear, reinterpreting classical music through the lens of traditional performance. Classically trained percussionist Delia Stevens draws on her unique sound world to help bridge the gap between complex classical structures and the fluidity of folk music. Together they transform their collective pasts into a re-imagined future.
