World-renowned percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie joins forces with Russian visual artist Maria Rud, cellist Philip Sheppard and vocal consort Canty for a spectacular performance in the Museum’s Grand Gallery, which promises to bring together music and painting, and Scotland and Russia.
The performance will feature the world premiere of music composed by Evelyn Glennie and Philip Sheppard especially for the show. The programme reflects the creative spirit of Catherine’s court, incorporating early Russian sacred music and work by Bortniansky, who composed for Catherine herself, as well as contemporary pieces.
AniMotion is a concept developed by acclaimed Russian artist Maria Rud in collaboration with a host of musicians across a range of genres. While musicians perform, Maria paints a narrative piece on a lightbox, which is then projected onto a large screen in real time.
The audience will be free to move around and enjoy the spectacle from different positions within the Grand Gallery’s stunning architecture, creating a night that will be utterly unforgettable.
Please note: Limited seating, you are advised to wear comfortable shoes!
