The Wallace Collection
Royal Scottish National Orchestra Brass Quintet
Markus Stockhausen – trumpet
Join us for a programme of astronomy inspired music that connects Galileo’s telescopes to Giovanni Gabrieli, Mimart’s Septets to 19th century Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming, and the the extraterrestrial music of both Karlheinz and Markus Stockhausen to two new pieces devised by the 2020 StAMP Discovering Brass Cohort. The 2020 StAMP Discovering Brass cohort started learning online in July and have made astronomy inspired pieces written in collaboration with astronomer Anne-Marie Weijmans, artist Tim Fitzpatrick, and composer Andrew Hill. Completing the programme is Eddie McGuire’s brass quintet in which each player takes on a characteristic of the constellation Auriga.

Oceans from the point of view of our coast
The sounds of the sea has provided inspiration for some of the most influential music throughout history. Sounds from the smallest creatures to some of the largest that have ever lived, sounds from turbulent storms to the serene calm, oceans inspire and awe with a wonder that reminds us that we live on a blue planet. But what of tomorrow? Have we unwittingly disregarded the health of the world’s oceans and sent them into a path of collapse? Follow us on Facebook Live and YouTube Premiere for a presentation of a special project between clarinettist Alex South, composer Oliver Searle, environmental geographer Tim Stojanovic and geoscientist Richard Bates as they explore the state, sounds and future of Blue Planet from the view point of our coast.
