Internationally acclaimed vocal quartet Windborne bring their extraordinary harmonies and social conscience to Castlemaine. Hailed by The Guardian as “the most exciting vocal group in a generation,” Windborne’s singing is rooted in folk traditions from around the world — layered, resonant and alive with purpose. Their repertoire moves seamlessly from Appalachian ballads to songs of protest, labour and love. What unites it all is their sound: rich four-part harmony sung with both technical precision and heartfelt conviction. After 25 years of studying polyphonic music from around the world Windborne brings impeccable skill, vibrant onstage energy and a vocal blend that is only possible with decades of friendship. Known for their deep engagement with history and activism, Windborne connect past and present through the power of collective voice. In an age of division, their music feels urgent and healing — a reminder that harmony is more than a musical idea; it’s a way of being together.
