The Leith New Music # 4 proudly returns with an extraordinary blend of new music with a lot of twists!

We are showcasing new works written for trumpet, violin, viola, and cello by emerging artists. The pieces are inspired by chart-hitting pop songs of their choice - from any genre, any era.

The night's main drag is a very special and rare performance of late Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's infamous open score Worker's Union, joined by the ensemble musicians and YOU! the audience, if you want to.

What's more, Emma, John and Chris will serenade us to a short voice and piano performance of four songs by the Beatles, made fully accessible for musical outcasts by Louis Andriessen.

The night concludes with an experimental electronic music set by Jess Aslan (aka xica), an Edinburgh-London based synth and code mage researcher composer.
