Aiming to bring new sonic flavours to the world of Euro-bal music, whether it's the chain dances of Brittany, a Scandinavian couple dance, or the bourrée of the French Auvergne, The Hearken Quartet bring tunes new and old and a rousing sound to the well-loved dance music of Western Europe and beyond.
