GCF: Event 1 / Echoes in Stone & Brass
These ancient stones have witnessed almost nine centuries of change. Now, in a bespoke performance for the 10th anniversary of Glasgow Cathedral Festival, they find a voice of their own. Inspired by the tradition of improvised brass music performed in the vast sea caves of his native Faroe Islands, RSNO Principal Trombone Dávur Juul Magnussen reimagines this raw experience for Glasgow’s oldest building.
Beginning with the rippling of the now-buried Molendinar Burn, this musical journey of the ‘Dear Green Place’ moves through the roar of the Industrial era towards the living breath of our future— as humble musical fragments gather to build an expansive soundscape. Join Magnussen, the Choir of Glasgow Cathedral and brass players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for this immersive opening night as they transform the cathedral into a vessel sounding the history of our city.
