One of the world’s longest running festivals for contemporary classical music, Nordic Music Days was established by the Council of Nordic Composers in 1888 and is a key event for composers and creators throughout the region.
For only the third time in its history the festival will take place outside of the Nordic countries, as Glasgow hosts musicians from Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
For its contribution, Hebrides Ensemble performs a programme of scores with flexible instrumentation. We are joined by Sámi vocalist Ánnámáret, as well as Scottish composer / performer Clare Johnston in a new work that explores the similarities and connections between Scottish and Nordic languages and dialects.
