A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).

A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
