Jordan Aikin and Quercus - 5 February 2026
Led by Jordan Aikin, this electrifying ensemble pushes contemporary folk music into new territory. Their music fuses the drive of bass, drums, and guitar with the distinct voices
of pipes, accordion and whistle, creating bold textures and rhythmic energy. Rooted in traditional melody but shaped by modern ensemble writing, their sound is both immersive
and inventive, offering a fresh take on folk music for today’s audiences.
