A snapshot of Thirteen North’s debut performance in June 2023. The ensemble performed three new commissions by folk-influenced Scottish composers Pàdruig Morrison, Catriona Price, and Pippa Murphy, complemented by an existing masterpiece – Bartók’s dynamic Hungarian-folk-fuelled ‘Divertimento for Strings’. The evening also featured the work of Glasgow-based filmmaker Bircan Birol, who collaborated with the three composers to create short films in response to the themes explored through their music – generations, cultural exchange, and tradition.
