Kate Molleson presents the first of two programmes of music from Tectonics 2026, the annual two-day festival curated by Ilan Volkov and the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Tonight, we hear the world premiere of Christopher Fox's Minding the hive, which explores the remarkable tonal resources of Lore Amenabar Larra帽aga鈥檚 self-designed quartertone accordion, and the UK premieres of both Ang茅lica Castell贸's Star Washers for orchestra and electronics and Laura Bowler's Things are Against Us, which features GBSR Duo alongside the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The strings of the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra also perform Hannah Kendall's musical retelling of the Biblical story of Lot's wife in her work, . . . I may turn to salt.

Plus the boundary-breaking music of Minnesota-born Craig Taborn, who draws upon jazz traditions, contemporary classical music, experimental, electronic, rock, metal and hip-hop. And the Scottish tuba artists and improviser, Danielle Price, described as a 'magician-musician', performs a set in the Old Fruitmarket.
