Northern Spirits in Hall One on
Saturday evening is a major event, perhaps the
event of the weekend. Two works inspired by the north east landscape form the
centerpiece of the evening; the late Ian Carr (trumpeter, composer,
broadcaster, writer) wrote the suite Northumbrian
Sketches in the 1980s and it has never been performed by orchestra and jazz
group in the north east until now and Tim Garland, who has made his home in
Whitley Bay, has written Songs to the North Sky, a suite for jazz trio and
orchestra.
The Sage Gateshead’s world class Northern Sinfonia will be joined by
an array of internationally acclaimed jazz musicians under the baton of Clark
Rundell to perform the suites. The reeds of
Tim Garland will be in
conversation in a pre-concert talk with Alyn Shipton (6:30 pm). Free to ticket
holders.
