MIKE VASS: THE FOUR PILLARS
PREMIERE
Newly Commissioned by the Scots Fiddle Festival and supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotlands Open Project Fund,
The Four Pillars is a multi-media experience and musical suite from Scottish musician Mike Vass. Based on the four major tune types of the Scottish fiddle tradition - the slow air, the march, the strathspey and the reel - Mikes piece captures the grandeur of Scottish fiddle music. The performance features an ensemble of four solo fiddle players (Mike, Patsy Reid, Lauren MacColl and Jenna Reid) each performing one movement, accompanied by string quartet, piano and tuned percussion with a film element as well as sampled spoken word excerpts.
