GIO and summer school workshop participants perform at the Tolbooth, Saturday 13 August

Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra Summer School Performance

Sat 13 Aug, 7.30pm
£5/£3

GIO musicians have worked in a wide range of settings with people of all ages, including improvising with nursery and school children, children with additional support needs, university students and adults with mental health issues.

Inspired by a recent GIO live performance of improvisation to filmmaker Hans Richter’s experimental short films, the Tolbooth asked GIO if they would be interested in holding a Summer School focusing on the experimental short films of Stirling born filmmaker Norman McLaren (1914-1987).

McLaren developed a number of groundbreaking techniques in filmmaking and animation, and is known for combining and synchronising animation with music.

Consequently the first Tolbooth/GIO Summer School is on 9 –13 August for musicians aged 14 – 21.

This performance will be the premier of GIO and the workshop musicians playing live improvisations to screenings of select Norman McLaren films.
