WATER MUSIC source to sea
An award-winning project celebrating Scotland's vast waterways through music. Blending contemporary classical, folk, field recordings, and works by Bach and Sibelius, this 18-month creative journey culminates in an album, education resources and music videos to distill and explore our relationship with water.
GLASGOW REQIUEM
Sequoia performed as part of Glasgow Requiem, a community ceremony at Glasgow's Necropolis honouring those buried in unmarked graves. Created by Aproxima Arts and winner of the 2024 Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival award for Outstanding Event, the ceremony included wildflower bulb plantings, music, poetry, and shared food to mark loss and remembrance. The performance formed part of a larger creative partnership, which continues with the Glasgow Requiem Walk - a reflective, immersive experience through the city's east end.
TO THE VANISHED MOLENDINAR
Presented by Glasgow University, To the Vanished Molendinar is a multimedia performance by Sequoia uncovering the story of Glasgow's hidden river. Through music, words and imagery, the work traces the Molendinar Burn's journey from sacred waterway to a buried memory beneath the modern city. Featuring Aileen Sweeney's 2024 McEwen commission, the performance reflects on the river's past and reimagines its place in Glasgow's future.
TRANSPLANTED
sounding Scotland's wild plants in music
An exploration of Scotland's plant life featuring eight commissioned works for violin and cello duo, inspired by Scottish Baroque
composer James Oswald's botanical
compendium Airs for the Seasons.

You can read blog posts written by each composer describing their creative process.

We have recently created a studio recording of the music from this programme and also a learning resource for primary aged children called TRANSPLANTED Carbon.

NOCTURNAL

NOCTURNAL creatures generally have a highly developed sense of hearing and sight. This performance of night music invites the audience to explore how their senses respond to light and sound after dark.
