Moder dy/Mother Wave | Scottish Chamber Orchestra

Two of Scotland’s most internationally celebrated traditional musicians join the Scottish Chamber Orchestra for new tunes, fresh perspectives and some much loved music.

Long time musical associates, the Shetland born fiddler Chris Stout and the Dundee born harpist Catriona McKay are renowned for their dynamic approach to Scottish traditional music. With the North Sea an abiding presence in their diverse and curious collective sound, the visceral emotion of their music-making is powerful in its hunger to reach the soul.

They're known for their pioneering collaborations across classical, contemporary and experimental fields, and the intensity of their music can turn on a sixpence, as they seamlessly weave and dance between their traditional roots and their shared passion for explorations in music.

Catriona and Chris are joined by guests including the 'Shetlandic’ poet Christie Williamson and their long-time friend and colleague, the conductor James Lowe, as the SCO brings this unique music to life.
