Festival 2011
Welcome to sound 2011. Once again sound will offer the opportunity to experience the exciting diversity of new music: from established composers and performers to the very best of emerging local talent; from music for solo cello to music for 20 cassette recorders; from performances in large concert halls to events in intimate venues.
In response to popular demand, this year’s Festival will include a weekend of vocal music with performances by both professional and amateur choirs and singers. Also featured within the Festival will be artists and composers from Nordic countries, celebrating the first stage in a three-way partnership between sound and organisations in Bergen and St Petersburg.
sound will open with the inaugural New Music Scotland Showcase & Conference, which we are proud to be hosting. This weekend event will allow emerging and established Scottish talent to present their work within the stimulating and challenging environment of a weekend symposium. This will include the annual sound lecture, given this year by Professor Jonathan Cross of the University of Oxford under the provocative title New Music: Is Anybody Listening? We certainly hope you will be!
