Our final residency in Dundee came to an end yesterday – and what a weekend it was! A full report of what we got up to will be coming up later this week, but for now it’s straight onto our Illuminations concerts in Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth from 22 – 25 October 2012.
As well as performances of Britten’s Les Illuminations with visuals by Netia Jones ( on probably the biggest screen you’ve ever seen outside the cinema. Honestly.) performed with tenor Thomas Walker, we’re also giving the very first performances of our new commission from composer Martin Suckling, In memoriam EMS, the first in a series of musical postcards from Martin that will be dropping onto our doormat over this season.
But what’s it like to hear your music performed by a whole ensemble for the very first time? Marketing & Development Manager Keren chatted to Martin straight after the first rehearsal yesterday afternoon.
If you’d like to hear Martin’s music for yourself, find out how to buy tickets on our website
