A festival to push the boundaries of the art form

Why "Tectonics"? For over a decade, artists from around the world have gathered in Glasgow with a shared goal – to push the boundaries of their art form, often challenging its basic ground rules. An earthquake, while destructive, also brings renewal and change. Despite being a beautiful, old-fashioned musical structure, I know that the orchestra still has much to offer. This year’s festival focuses on the profound act of listening and the potential of collaboration. Embrace the music with openness. Trust the composers, performers… and yourself! It often leads to exciting and transformative experiences.
