Matilda’s Mountain Music – Inspiring Images 28th November 2013 7.30 pm: BONAR HALL, DUNDEE (Ustinov Room) Matilda Brown is a Scottish based composer who writes for theatre, film and dance. She also performs with her own ensemble. She is currently working with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the RSNO and Drake Music Scotland. Matilda has been walking in the mountains and running across the fells all her life. Her mountain journeys are the connection to and inspiration for her music. This passion has had a deep and lasting effect on her music and continues to influence projects she undertakes as a composer. About the performance: Matildas ensemble will perform an eclectic mix of jazz/classical/folk instrumentals and songs. The music is inspired by Matildas multiple day mountain journeys through the Highlands of Scotland. A slideshow of photographs (from trips 2009-2013) have been carefully integrated into the musical performance. Not only does Matilda respond to the events that happen on her trips, but she also captures the atmosphere that can engulf us when we reflect on our memories through walking or under the canvas of a tent or a roof of a bothy.
