Nevis Ensemble - Garelochhead, Faslane Peace Camp, Britannia Panopticon

Nevis Ensemble is a brand new Street Orchestra for Scotland, bringing 70 performances to communities across the country during Glasgow 2018.

We will take our energetic 40-piece orchestra, pop up and surprise commuters first thing in the morning, make guerrilla-style appearances in swimming pools, and even perform at the summit of Ben Nevis.

With the theme of Movement, and conducted by Holly Mathieson and Jon Hargreaves, the orchestra will draw musicians from Scotland, London, Amsterdam and Berlin, performing everything from Rachmaninov, to Radiohead, a few Reels thrown in, and a brand new commission from award-winning composer Matthew Grouse.

• A community performance for the people in the village of Garelochhead.
  Gibson Hall, Garelochhead, Argyll and Bute, 1pm - 2pm
• A performance at the world’s longest running peace camp, opposite Faslane Naval Base.
