The Rheingans Sisters are award-winning multi-instrumentalists and composers who make bold, playful and innovative contemporary musicthat is anchored in folk traditions without being bound by them.
A unique and unmissable act, Rowan and Anna play a wide range of instruments in their live shows, many of them handmade by their luthier father Helmut Rheingans who is based in their native Peak District – fiddles, voice, banjo, bansitar, tambourin à cordes, spoken word, dancing feet and percussion all play a part.
Over the last five years, with three critically acclaimed albums and a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award, audiences have been utterly captivated by their very special live performances and we can’t wait to welcome them to the Howard Assembly Room.
“a rare clarity of harmony, complemented by sublimely inventive overlaps of voices and instruments”
