The Bridge Festival is being presented by four collaborating organisations from the UK, Germany, Norway, and Estonia - Scottish Ensemble, Trondheim Soloists, Ensemble Resonanz and PLMF Music Trust. Each organisation will present a headline concert, as well as creating collaborative events, with contributions from visual artists and musicians from non-classical genres.
