Singer, harpist and composer Rachel Newton’s most recent solo project Sealladh was originally commissioned by the National Galleries of Scotland to celebrate 80 years of live music events at the galleries and was premiered at their newly opened gallery space, now the home of the Scottish Collection. Each piece of music in Sealladh is inspired by an artwork from the Scottish Collection, including works by William McTaggart, John Duncan and Phoebe Anna Traquair. This magical and evocative performance will include projections of each piece of art and found sound recordings from the locations of the artworks. Rachel will be accompanied by Sally Simpson on viola and Alice Allen on cello.
