Hebrides Ensemble & Ánnámáret
No strangers to Scottish audiences, Hebrides Ensemble bring a characteristically intriguing programme, full of contrast and colour, to Nordic Music Days.
Hans Abrahamsen’s virtuosic solo violin piece explores the potential offered by the open strings of the instrument, and the ensemble is joined by vocalist Ánnámáret for a work by Krister Hansén that showcases contemporary Sami yoik singing.
Naomi McGillivray’s graphic score – a work of art in itself – has the poetry of Kenneth McCaig at its heart, and the programme also includes a work by Thomas Djønne which was given its first performance by the Hebrides Ensemble as part of the Swedish Chamber Games project.
