Join Dunblane residents Katherine Wren, musician and founder of Nordic Viola and author Jim Fraser for this special evening to launch Nordic Viola's debut album, Elsewhere, Elsewhen.
Elsewhere, Elsewhen features new music for chamber ensemble inspired by another time and place. It links Orkney and Iceland through the sagas, stretches further back into prehistory with music inspired by the ancient peoples of Orkney and shines a light on important historical figures from the past, giving new voice to their stories. It also explores issues of migration, human and avian, and reflects on the beauty and wildness of nature from Shetland to Greenland.
There will be an opportunity to listen to the new album and to share a drink and conversation with Nordic Viola's founder and viola player, Katherine Wren. Local author Jim Fraser will host the evening.
**Venue: Weigh Ahead Gallery, 91-95, High Street, Dunblane FK15 0ER**
There will be the opportunity to buy CDs on the night or you can pre-order here: https://nordicviola.bandcamp.com/album/elsewhere-elsewhen
