Erland Cooper

Beautiful premiere of his new work "Carve the runes and then be content with silence", a composition that had been recorded, planted in the soil of Orkney, then dug up, and played back. This was then transcribed to score the performance this evening.

Exquisite!

Astounding concert and premiere of Erland's new work, with The Scottish Ensemble, Simon Armitage in a very intimate setting. Thank you to all involved.

Erland and accompanying artists werr amazing. They took us on a magical, musical and poetic journey to the Orkney Islands. It was powerful, moving, dramatic and calming. Loved it. Only thing I'd change would be the addition of visuals. Loved the thunder lighting, very atmospheric, an expansion of this or some birds in flight, the sea crashing and the likes on the big screen would have taken it to another level. Brilliant night. Would recommend and look forward to seeing again in the future.

Fantastic, atmospheric night in a lovely venue. The support (Ava) were sensational

No other word than outstanding. Or possibly breathtaking.... Fabulous would work too. In fact, there are many words but that's one of the best concerts I've seen in recent memory. Thanks Erland
