Rhymes & Reels: A unique, genre-defying performance of poetry and spoken word with multimedia
Delusions is a striking collaboration between poet Len Pennie and composer Paul Leonard-Morgan - two of the most creative voices in contemporary Scottish arts. In this special collection of songs on love and loss, Leonard-Morgan’s music frames Pennie’s powerful words, performed by Pennie with Leonard-Morgan on piano, and accompanied by strings, electronica and soloists.
Experience the world premiere of a dynamic new collaboration that unites the powerful words of one of Scotland's most vital poets with the pioneering soundscapes of a BAFTA-winning composer.
Delusions brings together poetry and spoken word with multimedia for a unique, genre-defying performance.
The voices of Con’tylia, accompanied by the strings of a Cretan laouto, guitars, hand drums, and clarinet, aim to explore the wonders of Greek folk music, ranging from ambient ballads to Greek mainland and island dances, bringing the storytelling of Greek music to Scotland’s stages. Rooted in decades of Greek tradition, Minor Asian scales, and unique rhythms, this five-piece ensemble sings solos, duets, and quartets to create polyphonic vocal harmonies exploring the intricacies of the East Mediterranean region. With their bold arrangements and infectious energy, Con’tylia are carving out a unique place in Glasgow’s music scene, one memorable performance at a time.
