A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.
