ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Kate Molleson presents the first of two programmes of music from Tectonics Glasgow 2025, the annual two-day festival curated by Ilan Volkov and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Tonight, we hear the electronic sets of both Beatrice Dillon and local artist Lauren Sarah Hayes, recorded in the Old Fruitmarket, plus world premieres of two searingly honest orchestral works that confront grief, by the Italian composer Clara Iannotta and the American composer Timothy McCormack, and conducted at City Halls by Ilan Volkov. The flautist Richard Craig showcases the extremes his instrument can reach in works by Patricia Alessandrini and Mesias Maiguashca, drummer Mark Sanders and saxophonist Rachel Musson collaborate with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and we take a sonic walk around the spaces of City Halls in Orvind Torvund's Symphony.
