Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Linda Buckley connects threads of Irish and Scottish traditions and language, migration and the idea of home in her piece for pipes, strings and electronics.
Award-winning composer Linda Buckley’s ‘Thar Farraige (Over Sea)’ combines contemporary chamber music with Irish and Scottish folk traditions.
Composed for small pipes, string quartet and electronics, this captivating piece is performed with Maxwell Quartet and Ailis Sutherland.
