About

After forging a close musical bond in contemporary repertoire, Lotte Betts- Dean and Joseph Havlat turn to a tradition that is anything but fixed. KIN explores folksong as a living, evolving art: melodies and stories passed between generations, reshaped by memory, place and imagination. Alongside now canonical arrangements by Britten, Bartók and Grainger and rarities by E.J. Moeran and Doreen Senior, new commissions from Josephine Stephenson, Isabella Gellis and Louise Drewett bring fresh perspectives to this shared inheritance. Rooted in the duo’s own sense of cultural identity – at once Australian, European and diasporic – this is a programme that moves fluidly across borders and eras, held together by an instinctive, finely balanced partnership.

Awards Issue 2026

I should say straight away that BettsDean is on engagingly charismatic form throughout, and the delights come thick and fast…[Havlat's] polished pianism is a constant source of pleasure.
