As it enters its second decade, Tectonics Glasgow is still blurring boundaries of new and experimental music
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's Tectonics Glasgow festival, co-curators Ilan Volkov and Alasdair Campbell, is entering is second decade with the 2024 festival on 4 and 5 May 2024. This year's festival continues to blur boundaries between musical genres with artists including vocal and movement artist Elaine Mitchener reflecting and responding to the circumstances which gave birth to the centuries-old hymn Amazing Grace and its contemporary resonances; Koichi Makigami, leader of a Japanese experimental rock band, performing with the legendary drummer Roger Turner; New York based vocalist Ka Baird combining their live performance within minimalistic, visceral composition and Japanese improviser, recorder player Eiko Yamada. Sarah-Jane Summers (fiddle) and Juhani Silvola (guitar) will interweave Scottish traditional music with Scandinavian influences alongside the BBC SSO strings; and Edinburgh-based artists Euan Currie and Marlo De Lara present a live improvisation drawing on voices, electronics and field recordings.Ilan Volkov conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in three […]

Farewells: Jakub Józef Orliński and Michal Biel launch their new album at the Polish Hearth Club
[…] music more. The idea for the programme has been bubbling under for some years, and Orliński explained how he and Biel had been trying out Polish songs in recital and getting good reactions from the audience. The recording actually came about partly because in September last year, both performers found themselves with gaps in their diaries and decided to go for it. But the planning had been unfolding, and Orliński had sung songs by Tadeusz Baird as a student. Orliński and Biel knew each other as students in Warsaw and subsequently were both at the Juilliard together. There Biel suggested other Polish songs to Orliński (who admits that he was not always on board with the songs initially), for instance, Karol Szymanowski's folk-inspired songs whilst Henryk Czyż songs are much more often song by lower voices and using a counter-tenor sheds a new light on them. Part of their reason for […]

[…] yes, it's very funny despite, or because, of that. The entire cast is terrific, with Katherine Pracht as the title character (she is on trial for killing her husband as the opera opens), Keith Phares as John Cree, Samuel Faustine as real-world character Dan Leno, a music-hall performer, Simon Barrad as Inspector Kildare, Leslie Katter as Aveline Mortimer, Christopher Job as Uncle, Ashley Dixon as Doris, J. Raymond Meyers as Victor Farrell, Glenn Healy, Linda Baird, Solas Burke-Lalgee, and Andrew Green as the Ensemble (they had various smallish roles, as a judge, Karl Marx, and George Gissing). Everyone was great! The direction is great! (By Sam Helfrich; I hope he'll be back!) Honestly, you want to see this, especially if you're a fan of Sweeney Todd or Kind Hearts and Coronets. Katya Kabanova, by Leoš Janáček. Do I need to do anything beyond naming the composer? Because […]
