Previous Performances

• Each Other

• Sun 4th Jun 2023
• Govan and Linthouse Parish Church

• Generously supported by Creative Scotland and The Hope Scott Trust, ‘Each other’ is about our desire to connect and the sometimes healthy and sometimes not so healthy role that technology can play in facilitating or substituting, genuine human connection.

  In this time of division and loneliness, it may be vital that we explore the quality of our interactions, the depth of our conversations, the sharing of resources, and the compassion and empathy needed to live well together.

  Featuring Kevin Daniel Cahill (Electric Guitar) & Dr. Val Wellbanks (Cello)

• Duo van Vliet are an accordion and viola duo, comprising Rafa? ?uc (accordion) and Ian Anderson (viola). They began playing together in January 2011 while they were both students at the Royal Academy of Music, London. Their love of contemporary music led them to name themselves after the late, great Don van Vliet, better known by his avant-garde rock persona, Captain Beefheart. In their inaugural year they reached the final of the Royal Over-Seas League Chamber Music Competition in London, and since then have dedicated themselves to expanding the viola and accordion repertoire. They make a point of commissioning as many composers as possible to write for them, and have a long list of desired future collaborations, time- and funding-allowing.

  Recent highlights include the release of their debut album, Lachrymae ReVisited, on Orchid Classics (made possible by generous support from Creative Scotland, Help Musicians UK, Pigini Accordions, and many of their friends, family, colleagues); performing Georg Friedrich Haas’ double concerto for viola, accordion and chamber ensemble, “….”, with the Orkiestra Muzyki Nowej (New Music Orchestra), Katowice; their recital at St. Magnus Festival, Orkney, which was recorded for broadcast on BBC Radio 3; and their debut recital at the National Forum of Music, Wroc?aw, which included 3 world premieres commissioned by the duo.

• Run Away (I was safe in anger and lost in fear)

• Wed 14th Aug 2013
• Greyfriars Kirk

• I wish to express my thanks to the Astrid String Quartet for pursuing funding to commission and perform this work. I would like to thank the quartet and Davur Juul Magnussen for their commitment, hard work, humour and professionalism throughout rehearsals. I enjoyed them immensely. Thanks to The Hope Scott Trust also, for their generous support.

  This piece, for me, is about the mechanics between menace, anger, fear and helplessness. The inability to take action, the difficulty in accepting a sad truth and how extremely difficult it can be to give up hope.

  The premiere formed part of their Five By Five concert series which is a #madeinscotland2013event. Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 

  Written for The Astrid Quartet and Davur Juul Magnussen. 

  Dedicated to Michael McEneny
