Classic Music Live! Euan Stevenson and the Earthtones Trio – World Premiere of Sound Tracks

This activity is completed or marked as expired

Details

Commissioned by 'Chamber Music Scotland' and ‘Classic Music Live! Falkirk’, Sound Tracks is a new suite of nine accessible contemporary classical music pieces by Scottish composer and pianist Euan Stevenson. The work celebrates the award-winning Falkirk Core Path Network - 300 miles of interconnecting pathways spanning the urban and rural landscapes of central Scotland, linking iconic modern structures such as the Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies with long-standing historical landmarks like Callendar House and The Antonine Wall.

Written for Earthtones Trio, featuring internationally acclaimed RSNO Principal Flautist Katherine Bryan, RSNO Associate Principal Cellist Betsy Taylor with the composer on piano, the music of Sound Tracks is as varied as the landmarks themselves: from a hypnotic portrayal of the gently rotating Falkirk Wheel to a rousing depiction of marauding Caledonians assailing the Antonine Wall, Stevenson draws upon his extensive musical vocabulary in classical, jazz and film music genres.
