It's been a whole year since our collaboration with Jasdeep Singh Degun made it's way into the world! Watch Jasdeep and Jon discuss the challenges and wins of merging Indian classical and Western music, and how this creative process can enrich musical minds.

Wow - what a night! Yesterday we made our debut at the Southbank Centre to a packed audience, and what a fantastic reception we received. Thank you to all who came along and we can’t wait to head back to the Southbank in January with @MishMashProds for in Sync

@sear_georgina So pleased you could come along and enjoyed the performance.

Ahead of our concert this Sunday, we were set a challenge by @southbankcentre to come up with a 10 track mixtape that gives a flavour of the breadth of our musical influences.

Have a listen to the tracks we selected, and why we choose them at https://t.co/YLbd8e9Sfu

For those who joined our quartet over the weekend at Sonica you might remember this vivid piece by Shostakovich played in @TheBurrellCollection 's main atrium. You can see us play it up close and personal, in our video below, in a somewhat different setting!

[Scottish Ensemble @ScotEnsemble]

We’ve been marvelling at the beauty and intrigue of the exhibits and architecture of @burrellcollect today, as we rehearse for Sunday’s journey through the museum. Part of @crypticglasgow's Sonica 2024, Echoes of the Burrell, is open to all.

A wonderfully intimate venue, the Joan Knight Studio is perfectly suited to an intimate listening experience. If you've already got tickets then no need to worry - they're still valid. Haven't yet got tickets then find all the details at https://t.co/BcxClmCqgG

Resound heads to Perth on Mon 9 Sep, and in a change to the previously advertised venue (and for the first time) we’ll be performing in the Joan Knight Studio at @perthTCH directly across the road from the concert hall.
