Add to my Calendar 11-02-2018 14:30 11-02-2018 16:30 36 The Hermes Experiment (soprano, harp, clarinet, double bass) Performing as a really exciting, innovative and unique quartet, The Hermes Experiment strives to give engaging and thought-provoking performances, incorporating new commissions, diverse arrangements of existing works from Bach to Joni Mitchell, and live improvisation. The members passionately believe that music is for all, and enjoy presenting their concerts in a way that explains and gives insights into their unusual repertoire. In this concert, the ensemble performs a typically eclectic mix, exploiting to the full its ingenious combination of voice and instruments. There are imaginative arrangements of well-known music drawn from traditional, ‘classical’ and contemporary sources, as well as examples from the impressive array of new works the group has already commissioned. Prepare to have your musical horizons expanded! “The performance was meticulously nuanced, witty and chic.” (The Times) Music in Peebles is delighted to have been successful in securing a concert by winners of the prestigious Tunnell Trust Award for Young Musicians. The standard of musicianship from past winners has unfailingly been exceptionally high, and this concert promises to be another outstanding one in a distinguished line. It is part of a six-date Scottish tour being undertaken with support from the Tunnell Trust*.
