ReConnection: Evelyn Glennie and Catrin Finch

Dame Evelyn Glennie and Catrin Finch perform ReConnection at the Gannochy Trust Auditorium, Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 19 November. It's a new work by composer and jazz pianist Jill Jarman, written for two of the era's most celebrated instrumentalists, and the Perth performance is staged by ArtsTrust.

Glennie is the world's premier solo percussionist, a double GRAMMY winner and OBE recipient with more than 100 international awards, including the Polar Music Prize and the Léonie Sonning Music Prize; she's also Curator of The Evelyn Glennie Collection. Finch, known as the 'Queen of Harps', was a child prodigy and former Royal Harpist to the Prince of Wales, and has built her reputation on blending classical mastery with global traditions ranging from Colombian joropo to Senegalese kora. The two come together here on a piece that draws on their distinct backgrounds.

ReConnection was inspired by the post-Covid landscape, and it looks at personal, societal and environmental divisions, weaving a message of healing and reconnection into every movement. It's a new work by Jarman, so you'll be hearing it as it's being introduced, with the harp and percussion carrying the weight of the piece.

The concert starts at 19:30 and runs for 150 minutes. Tickets are £27.50 for Zone A, £23.50 for Zone B, and £18.00 for Zone C, all including a £2.50 booking fee. Students pay £6.00, and Young Scots, under-26s and disabled under-26s get in for free. The venue is the Gannochy Trust Auditorium at Perth Concert Hall, Mill Street, Perth, PH1 5HZ.
