Tectonics Festival
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra confirms its reputation as one of the world’s most adventurous orchestras, with the first Tectonics Glasgow festival, curated by Ilan Volkov and bringing together music and musicians spanning a broad spectrum of sounds that make up what contemporary music in the 21st century might sound like.
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.
The festival still provides the same "invigorating adrenaline rush" (The Scotsman, 2024) as its the inaugural festival on 2013.
