Independence, Ensemble Thing

Following their critically-acclaimed 2014 Fringe debut, leading new music group Ensemble Thing return to the Made in Scotland Showcase to perform John De Simone’s powerful and moving new work Independence.

Blending Scottish and post-minimalist music with spoken word, Independence is an autobiographical exploration of cultural and personal identity in Scotland from the perspective of its composer, an English-born Scottish-Italian whose grandfather, John MacCormick, was instrumental in the founding of the Scottish National Party. Supported by Hope Scott Trust.

Wonderfully powerful
