Impulse: Music in Motion


Scottish Ensemble perform music for strings from memory in a unique, personal, and deeply human performance, visiting the new Sohmen Concert Hall, at the University of Oxford’s brand new Schwarzman Centre, for the first time as well as the Norfolk & Norwich Festival.

Playing from memory, the musicians are unleashed through choreographed movements, devised in collaboration with choreographer Örjan Andersson. The emotional power of the music and the expressive gestures of the musicians will create an exhilarating experience that will make you see and hear these two iconic works afresh.

Take your seat, connect with the music moving before you, and hear this space come to life.
