Chamber Music Scotland presents string duo Sequoia, who are joined by mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean and composer and harmonium player Stuart MacRae for an intimate and evocative performance that brings together song, medieval lyric, Scottish folk, and contemporary instrumental sounds.
From the ethereal to the earthy, the music moves fluidly through time and tradition, drawing listeners into vivid, unexpected sound worlds where the old and new meet.
“…conjures an aural landscape steeped in folk music and medieval lyric, but the result is entirely distinctive and modern... This is music for slow, close listening, beautifully performed.”
Fiona Maddocks, The Observer
