Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Strathclyde Suite
Fiddler and singer Lori Watson is a key figure in the ongoing revival of her native Borders traditions, a process she seeks to extend yet further in her New Voices composition, Sanctuary. Initially inspired by places of actual or fabled refuge – be it for runaway lovers, stolen cattle or world-weary spirits – dotted around the region, the music’s themes draw on the local folklore, real-life history and personal associations attached to these places. Watson leads an ensemble centred on four fiddles, with accompaniment including cello and accordion, in a piece that also incorporates alternative tunings, graphic scoring and a strong improvisational element.
