The sea is our connector and our divider, our peace-bringer and our greatest danger. It breathes with us and dances in time with our bodily rhythms. This concert is a transportation to wild, remote, visceral coasts — like those in the West Highlands — exploring cultural connections to the sea and the risks presented by the changing climate.
Lange’s Flaskepost connects the Scottish and Norwegian seaway via a message in a bottle, while the Fennessy carries you to the isolation of the remote Hebridean archipelago of St Kilda. Saariaho’s Vent Nocturne and Lisa’s own the inimitable brightness of the air breathe the salt wind of the coast itself and evoke the waves’ connection to the human breath.
Doolittle’s Social Sounds of Whales at Night immerses us in the hidden life of the oceans, while Abrahamsen floods the hall with the sea’s thrashing danger and its moments of glassy calm. Lisa’s new work, Sluaisreadh — from the Gaelic for ‘the sound of waves swirling against the shore’ — traces the ocean’s shifting voice, reflecting all of its sonic qualities, from tranquil to damaged and dangerous.
Tickets: £10 (£8 concessions, £6 under-18s)
