Bringing together specially commissioned music from five Scottish composers, this album builds on the similar collection released on Delphian ten years ago to celebrate Live Music Now Scotland’s 30th anniversary. LMNS’s unique approach to commissioning new music fulfils the organisation’s twin aims of supporting early-career artists with professional performing experience and at the same time widening access to high-quality live music for people living in challenging circumstances, including children with additional support needs and older people in care.
The first volume was described by BBC Record Review’s Andrew McGregor as ‘a lovely showcase’ for the composers and musicians involved and for Live Music Now’s important work; Delphian is proud to ally with the organisation again in this exceptional endeavour.
