Scottish Ensemble Common Sound at Cottiers
21 October, 2021 – Performances: 6pm & 8pm
Cottiers Theatre, 93 – 95 Hyndland Street, Glasgow
Why do we gather together to listen to it?
What part does the audience play in a live performance?
Why not…just stay at home and stick a recording on?
During Common Sound Scottish Ensemble will be exploring these questions through live performance and conversation, guided by BBC 6 Music DJ and Psychotherapist Nemone.
Alongside thought-provoking words from Nemone, they’ll be playing short sets that will range from gut-wrenchingly beautiful Bach through to hypnotic Steve Reich, as well as music by Radiohead and Caroline Shaw.
‘As we gather again for live performance, after what has been for many a long and difficult period without, this is a timely and powerful reminder of what it means to gather on Common Sound. ‘
Programme:
Wojciech Kilar Orawa
Jonny Greenwood Proven Lands
Steve Reich Excerpts from Triple Quartet
François Couperin Les Barricades Mystérieuses
Radiohead Kid A
JS Bach Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott
Caroline Shaw The Orangery from Plan and Elevation
Peter Sculthorpe Estatico from Third Sonata for Strings
Coronavirus
In line with Scottish government guidance audience members are required to wear a face covering. In addition, please be reassured that all Scottish Ensemble musicians and staff will be tested daily.
For these performances Scottish Ensemble are offering you a choice of performance styles. For those who’d like a little more reassurance the 6pm performance is a socially distanced concert, at 50% of the venue capacity. For those who’d like to prioritise the atmosphere of a live concert, the 8pm concert will be non-distanced. Whichever performance you choose, your safety and comfort is our priority.
