Scotland to the World: On Adaptation

W ords can create melody, rhythm, even symphonies. Our Scotland to the World series takes this a step further, pairing some of our most notable writers and acclaimed musicians to create new performances. Kate Molleson talks to Ali Smith and New European Ensemble principal artistic director Emlyn Stam as they unpack the collaboration process behind Seasonal Quartet, alongside poet Len Pennie and BAFTA Award-winning composer Paul Leonard-Morgan, who reflect on their genre-defying performance, Delusions. Part of Scotland to the World.
