Tectonics Glasgow

Led by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, international and local artists gather to explore the boundaries of classical and other forms of music, with a spotlight on new, experimental and genre-defying vocalists, performers and composers.

As well as welcoming many international artists, the 2025 lineup has a distinctly Scottish flavour. Using analogue-digital live electronics, the euphoric sets of Lauren Sarah Hayes are rooted in her early trips to Glasgow’s local goth nights and techno scene.

Fellow Glaswegian and flautist Richard Craig plays works spanning five decades, using music to reflect on our surroundings. He collaborates with US-born percussionist Jennifer Torrence, who also presents her own defiant solo set. And some of Scotland’s most radical string players come together as the New String Collective, performing alongside experimental vocalist Clíona Cassidy.
