MUSIC & NATURE – Echoes from the HighlandsPerformed by Riccardo Pes – Cellist & Composer
📍 Venue: London Scottish House, 95 Horseferry Rd, London SW1P 2DX, United Kingdom
📅 Date: 11th April
⏰ Time: Doors open at 12:30 AM | Performance: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
🎟 Free Admission
Join renowned Italian cellist and composer Riccardo Pes for a unique concert blending classical and folk traditions with the distinctive beauty of the Scottish landscape. Pes’ Music & Nature project explores the emotional and environmental connections between music, landscape, and humanity.
Pes will perform selections from his upcoming album, Sgrìoban Dìomhair (Mystical Trails), which was composed in the heart of Scotland’s wilderness. The album features recordings made in locations such as Stac Pollaidh and Kylesku, where natural soundscapes are interwoven with his evocative cello compositions. Pes’ performances will take audiences on a sonic journey—from the vibrant folk traditions of Glasgow to the remote shores of Cape Wrath—offering a deep and immersive listening experience.
With a career marked by international acclaim, including his widely recognized Lament for the Tree, Pes continues to push artistic boundaries. His work has been praised for its emotional depth and innovative approach to environmental storytelling through music.
“Music has the power to reconnect us with nature,” says Pes. “By composing in these extraordinary landscapes, I hope to inspire reflection on our relationship with the planet and the urgent need for climate action.”
Expect an evening of hauntingly beautiful cello performances, nature-infused compositions, and a powerful message about the fragile balance between humanity and the environment.
