Description
Nordic Music Journeys 2025 is a project that came out of connections and friendships formed during the Nordic Music Days festival in 2024, which took place in Glasgow. Held in collaboration with the Föreningen Svenska Tonsättare (Swedish Society of Composers) and supported by STIM (the Swedish Performing Rights Society), Nordic Music Journeys 2025 will include 2 showcase concerts that will form part of a larger event. Tickets are available for either concert individually or both together.
The programme for the concerts was selected from a Call for Works (works or excerpts of longer pieces that last a maximum of 6 minutes and are for strings and electronics).
