Big Noise Govanhill

The North has many voices and when they all come together, as part of Nordic Music Days, the result is a magical kind of harmony. Sibelius crafts a symphony from ice and rock; Errollyn Wallen paints the skies as seen from a Scottish lighthouse; star violinist Isabelle Faust soars like a bird across a Nordic seascape; and Lisa Robertson’s new work, inspired by Nordic tales, is premiered by the inspirational young musicians of Big Noise Govanhill alongside the RSNO.

In memory of Tom Bruce-Jones

Lisa Robertson’s commission is supported by the Fidelio Charitable Trust, Hope Scott Trust and Marchus Trust.
