Stephanie Lamprea (soprano) and James Banner (double bass) have been, until now, a purely virtual collaborative team. Their performance at soundfestival marks their premiere as a performing duo, where they present works by Scottish and Scotland-based composers on the festival theme of environment, including three world premieres newly composed for this concert.
There are explorations of plundering consumerism, the nature emergency, trees and skylines, fragility, guerrilla defence, fairies, whales, and the space between dreams and reality.
