The Secret North brings together six world-class musicians from Scotland, Ireland and Scandinavia in a cross-cultural celebration of new music that bridges the distance between folk and classical, the traditional and the avant-garde by combining ancient instruments with new composition. The musicians came together to premiere six new compositions, written by each musician specifically for the ensemble, resulting in a concert of ear-opening new music, grounded in tradition, but shot through with the adrenaline of contemporary influences. This is music that is both ancient and utterly new.
