Described as "a primal, at times ecstatic state of Fauvist force" (Gramophone), Glasgow-born Richard Craig has developed a distinctive approach to the flute, collaborating with composers to create new works. A founding member of the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, he has performed with Ensemble Musikfabrik, Klangforum Wien and Riot Ensemble. “Music is the ideal medium to begin a reflection on our surroundings”, he poses. This concert explores themes of transformation, our consideration of the external world, and the alchemical dynamics of music. Let your imagination run riot with the mythological journey of Odysseus, the endless skyline of Cielo Gris, the fusion of materials in Sacateca's Dance, and a tribute to the miraculous eye in the night sky that holds sway over us all.
