Nordic Music Days Glasgow: Friday Festival Club x The Night With...
CCA Glasgow
The CCA has long been a hub for adventurous, innovative, and experimental music making in Glasgow, and its spaces will be crammed with performances, installations and films from 22.00 each evening.
Emerging artists alongside established names, thought-provoking stillness following disco infused social commentary... the festival club could be a walk-through mixtape, or a chance to focus on one gig and then relax with a drink.
Hamilton Mausoleum and the tomb of Emmanuel Vigelund collide in the Club Room on Friday night, before Nick Fells and tabla virtuoso Sodhi present a new work. The theatre hosts a partnership with pioneering Scottish contemporary music series The Night With..., as Jo Nicholson, Lauren Reeves-Rawling, and Sivert Holmen create a mix tape for the ages. Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir's film installation is screened in the cinema.
CCA Theatre: The Night With...
In partnership with trail blazing contemporary music series The Night With…, Joanna Nicholson plays works for clarinet and electronics from her recent album, Gyre.
She is joined by Lauren Reeves-Rawling for Jenny Hettne’s work for horn and tape, and hardanger fiddle virtuoso Sivert Holmen who plays one of his own works.
Leo Butt’s ambisonic work uses samples of historical horns and violins from the collection in Edinburgh’s St Cecilia’s Museum of Musical Instruments, and Marcus Wrangö pays tribute to a unique car from Stockholm’s subway fleet.
Performers: Joanna Nicholson (clarinet/bass clarinet), Lauren Reeves-Rawling (horn), Sivert Holmen (hardanger fiddle).
