The North has many voices and when they all come together, as part of Nordic Music Days, the result is a new and wonderful kind of harmony. Sibelius crafts a symphony from sounds of ice and rock; Errollyn Wallen paints the skies as seen from a Scottish lighthouse; and star violinist Isabelle Faust soars like a bird across a Nordic seascape. And that’s not the half of it! With startlingly beautiful new sounds from Copenhagen and Glasgow, prepare to be astonished.

Plus, in Glasgow, Lisa Robertson’s Nordic tales-inspired piece, is premiered by the inspirational young musicians of Big Noise Govanhill alongside the RSNO.

In memory of Tom Bruce-Jones.

Lisa Robertson’s commission is supported by the Fidelio Charitable Trust, Hope Scott Trust and Marchus Trust.
