Jamie MacDougall presents the first in a series of four lunchtime concerts from Glasgow, with some of Scotland's finest performers. Today the Scottish Ensemble perform works by American composers in the new auditorium of Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall. Beginning with Nico Muhly's Motion, inspired by his early years as a chorister, the Scottish Ensemble go on to play a specially commissioned work by James Manson intended as a partner piece to Copland's Appalachian Spring - using the same instrumental forces and a selection of Shaker Hymns. In between, with trademark flexibility, the Scottish Ensemble play Glass's Company String Quartet No. 2.

Nico Muhly: Motion (2010)
James Manson: Meeting at Nisqueunia (2016)
Philip Glass: Company String Quartet No 2 (1983)
