Selected Highlights
Distant Plains
Description
Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble present ‘Distant Plains’. Connecting Celtic nations to Asia Pacific, this programme brings together some of the most exciting voices in contemporary music.
Virtuosity bounds forward in Sam Chambers award-winning piece and we showcase solo works by Sean Doherty and Liza Lim which requires wielding not one, but two bows. Celebrating new connections with Wang Lu (China/USA), Luka Ventner (Aotearoa/NZ), Lisa Robertson (Scotland) and Geoff Hannan (England/ Ireland) and with inspiration drawn as widely as possible from sources such as Greek mythology, Mongolian Folk Music, Orkney and St Magnus, modern satirical TV and Italian Baroque music, this is a unique exploration of local and international composition.
The're delighted to welcome Maiden Voyage Dance for the first of this season’s collaborations. Maiden Voyage is an artist-led commissioning company offering discoveries in dance with, by, and for, artists, audiences, and participants.
