Ali Smith
Greyfriars Kirk 28 Aug
19.00 1hr

Ali Smith’s evocative Seasonal Quartet novels are brought to life anew in this special collaboration with Netherlands’ New European Ensemble (NEuE). Four female composers have created new musical works inspired by the series’ themes of interconnectedness, migration, and our place in a troubled world. Experience an unforgettable performance blending new commissions from leading European musicians with moving readings from the author herself. 

Part of Scotland to the World. Supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the UK.
