Dame Evelyn and Fills Monkey, Sebastien Rambaud (glasses) and Yann Coste (beard), discovered a mutual love of performing music with Boomwhackers, tuned flexible percussion instruments and the trio will perform with the colourful instruments at the imposing setting of George Heriot’s School, said to be the inspiration for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books

‘A mesmerising visual and aural feast’ (Scotsman). The live chemistry between renowned virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and acclaimed Russian visual artist Maria Rud delivers a sound and image fusion that is truly unforgettable. Maria’s evolving paintings are beamed live, by projection artist Ross Ashton, onto the walls of the quadrangle of George Heriot’s School – a 17th-century architectural gem revealed for the first time to Festival audiences. Rebecca Tavener, David Heath and DJ Dolphin Boy will join Evelyn and Maria for selected shows. Full programme information available at www.auroranova.org.
