The release of their critically acclaimed second album 'Night Hours' in 2016 cemented Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith's reputation as two of the most exciting musicians and social commentators on the British folk scene. Songs have always taken centre stage with Jimmy and Sid and on 'Many A Thousand' we see the duo flexing not only their vocal and instrumentation skills, but also their talent as composers. Part of what makes this compelling duo tick is a love of traditional folksong and a mutual passion for the history that is carried in the music.

Esta hermosa novela gráfica –que nació como un webcómic– narra la historia fantástica de Edmund, un hada, y El Niño, un niño humano, que fueron cambiados al nacer, como se acostumbra hacer en ocasiones entre este pueblo de antiguos seres. Edmund debe ocultarles a todos en nuestro mundo sus poderes, que crecen conforme se acerca a la adolescencia, y por su parte, El Niño (que ni siquiera tiene un nombre real) es tratado en el reino mágico como una especie de mascota curiosa. Pero las cosas cambian cuando Hawthorne, una poderosa hada malvada, se apodera del trono del inframundo y los dos jóvenes tienen que protegerlo al tiempo que buscan entender quiénes son y a qué mundo pertenecen.

Described by Opera News as “an important addition to the American operatic canon,” Sister Carrie takes as its themes the lure of money and social standing. Robert Aldridge’s inventive score is richly melodic and unapologetically tonal. Herschel Garfein’s libretto is based on Theodore Dreiser’s groundbreaking 1900 novel, which depicts a small-town girl’s tortuous path to fame and her lover’s abject descent into despair. Aldridge and Garfein’s Elmer Gantry was a two-time Grammy Award winner. Here, the lead roles are played by Mezzo-soprano Adriana Zabala, baritone Keith Phares, tenor Matt Morgan, and soprano Alisa Suzanne Jordheim.
