"Conflict and Resolution" featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

The centrepiece of Celtic Connection’s programme on January 17th will be the world première of Conflict and Resolution by David Heath. The event will celebrate the life of the pioneering architect, designer and painter Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and is the fruit of a two-year collaboration between musicians from Scotland and Catalonia. Transcending the boundaries between traditional and classical music, the piece is strongly influenced by the great Spanish cellist/composer Pablo Casals, while rooted in Celtic and Catalan folk idioms. Musicians will be accompanied by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Painters in Residency

From January 9th to February 2nd, Billcliffe Gallery (134 Blythswood Street) will exhibit works from painters Glen Scouler and George Devlin. Both painters were the 2008 recipients of the Mackintosh Society residency in Collioure. Glen Scouler and George Devlin went to Collioure in May 2008 and both were deeply inspired by the landscape they contemplated. The direct outcome of the residency is a new original series of works proposed to Glasgow audiences. Works from James Morrison and Douglas Davies (recipients in 2007) will also be exhibited.

French novelist Nicolas Fargues in Glasgow

On January 29th, Alliance Française welcomes the very talented Nicolas Fargues for a very special Café Litteraire. Fargues will introduce his novel "I was behind you", released in English in January. I was Behind You is a story of self-discovery, entering adulthood and freeing oneself. The tone is sarcastic, lucid, cruel yet realistic. Against a background of R&B and funky electronic music, Nicolas Fargues gives us an impressive and subtle account of gender relations and examines the choices one has made in the past.
