Echoes from the Edge

PLEASE NOTE: This event takes place at Glasgow Cathedral (Castle St, Glasgow G4 0QZ)

The final concert of the festival takes its inspiration from the series of concerts hosted in the legendary Klæmintsgjógv sea cave in the Faroe Islands each summer. Sound echoes off the rock, changing and fragmenting as it rolls around the space. The RSNO’s Faroese Principal Trombone, Dávur Juul Magnussen, curates a programme which brings the atmosphere - though hopefully slightly less damp - of the cave to Glasgow Cathedral, for a promenade concert featuring music from the Faroes, Outer Hebrides, and Glasgow, exploring the echoes and resonances of the building itself.

New works by Drew Hammond (Scotland) and Claire McCue (Scotland) sit alongside improvisations and traditional music from the islands as Dávur is joined by John Kenny, Kristian Blak, the voices of the University of Glasgow Chapel choir and brass players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to fill the space with sound.
