Residency Project 10th Anniversary Concerts
To celebrate 10 years of supporting musicians and commissioning new music through our Residency Project, Enterprise Music Scotland is hosting two exciting events.
On Saturday 18th November, we will be welcoming audiences to Renfield St Steven's Parish Church in Glasgow for two very special concerts featuring Residency Project alumni as well as two new cross arts premiers recently developed at EMS Creative Exchange sessions.
Alison McNeill (voice) & Sasha Savaloni (guitar), both graduates of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, will feature in our first concert of the evening alongside Scottish based poet Marjorie Lotfi Gill. This music and poetry performance will look at themes of pilgrimage and the influence of Persian poetry. The programme features the Glasgow première of EMS commission 'Four Attar Songs' by recent British Composer Award 2017 Nominee, Stuart MacRae, and poetry by Marjorie Lotfi Gill as well works by Stephen Goss and Marco Ramelli.
Residency Project alumni and recent winners of the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition, the Maxwell Quartet, will take to the stage for our second concert of the evening. This performance will feature the world première of a new collaborative work by composer Colin Broom and visual artist Heather Lander. The programme will also include previous EMS commissions for the quartet by David Fennessy and Scottish Album of the Year 2016 winner, Anna Meredith.
These events have been supported generously by PRS for Music Foundation, Hope Scott Trust, Glasgow Life and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
