LOCALfest 2025 Evening Concert with Karine Polwart

KARINE POLWART is an award-winning writer, musician, and storyteller whose work evokes a richness of place, hidden histories, scientific enquiry and folklore.

Across multi-artist collaborations and intimate solo performances, poetic essays and picture books, theatre projects and radio documentaries, she conjures the beauty and magic, the sorrow and darkness of the world out of the corner of her eye, with lyricism and tenderness. Trees and rocks speak. Birds flit in and out of vision. And the intimate particularities of the people and landscapes she knows and loves reflect the complexities of the wider world, and our contested times.
