Thar Farraige (Over Sea)

Award-winning composer Linda Buckley’s ‘Thar Farraige (Over Sea)’ will be performed with Brìghde Chaimbeul and Maxwell Quartet. They explore contemporary chamber music embracing both Irish and Scottish traditional music and language, songs of love and loss, connections to place, migration, and our idea of what home means.

Commissioned by Chamber Music Scotland and supported by PRS Foundation, this work composed for small pipes, string quartet, and live electronics, draws on Scottish and Irish folk traditions, exploring the potential meeting points and new pathways of contemporary classical and folk music.

Since its debut, Thar Farraige (Over Sea) has resonated with audiences around the world including Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, Northern Ireland’s Moving On Music, Norway’s Hemsing Festival and September Me in the Netherlands.

‘This project will weave together many strands of my musical self to create a cohesive whole, an immersive experience for the listener drawing upon themes of emigration/migration, and our sense of home and how that can be carried with us’ – Linda Buckley

Presented by Kings Place.
