Comprising some of Scotland鈥檚 most radical string players, improvisation is at the heart of the New String Collective鈥檚 process and practice. Founded in 2023, the group has established a reputation for its mesmerising performances of new graphic scores and instruction-based pieces. Unbound by the hegemony of notation, they鈥檙e free to interrogate sound and form, mining the rich sonic landscapes of violin, viola, cello and double bass. For this set, the New String Collective are joined by soprano, composer and experimental vocalist Cl铆ona Cassidy (a regular performer with Scottish Opera and Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra) to perform her anti-song cycle Hiatus, alongside new works devised by members of the Collective.
