Enterprise Music Scotland Pilgrim of Curiosity

There are no foreign lands; it is the traveller only who is foreign, and now and again, by a flash of recollection, lights up the contrasts of the ear. - Robert Louis Stevenson; Silverado Squatters

Pilgrim of Curiosity is a new work by composer Oliver Searle, commissioned by Enterprise Music Scotland, which will explore ideas of equality and amalgamations of culture through a number of musical memories and references inspired by Oliver's visits to places of worship all over the world. Oliver and the quintet will collaborate with lighting designer Trent Kim. The performers will be asked to consider equality issues throughout the process and to question their performing practice as classical chamber musicians.

There will be a post-performance talk with the composer and musicians which will discuss the project.
