Returning after two online incarnations, the festival pushes boundaries and blurs musical genres as international and local artists gather in Glasgow to explore what music can be. It is staged annually by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, is co-curated by its Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov and Alasdair Campbell (Counterflows) with highlights broadcast on BBC Radio 3. A ground-breaking and somewhat overlooked figure in electronic and experimental music, Janet Beat only released her first commercial album ‘Pioneering Knob Twiddler’ last year. This year’s focus will celebrate her career, including a number of works for solo performer and electronics performed by BBC SSO Principals and soprano Juliet Fraser, as well as sets from Andie Brown, Sharon Gal and Ailie Ormston that echo Beat’s ever-questioning spirit.

One could almost think that Fanny Hensel was commenting on the concert practice of today's great stages. How many orchestral concert evenings in large houses, how many classical music programmes do we experience and have we experienced, whose programmes were and are as a matter of course shaped exclusively by a sequence of works by male composers. In return, we would like to create a concert evening with orchestral music by women only. We would like to make audible to our audience the wonderful works created by women composers in the 19th century, hidden behind Brahms, Schumann, Chopin, Wagner, Berlioz etc.. Created against all odds by fathers, husbands, teachers, institutions and competitors. We would like to draw attention to the women composers who made interesting contributions ...
