Event 3 / Twilight in the Crypt: Stephanie Lamprea

Birds cry, bells toll and thrilling new worlds emerge, as we descend to the atmospheric lower church for this unmissable late-evening event. Part of our sell-out Twilight in the Crypt series, Columbian-American soprano Stephanie Lamprea is joined by sound artist Alistair MacDonald, integrating the human voice with avant-garde electronics in an examination of humanity’s complex relationship with historical environments and nature. 

Featuring cutting-edge works by some of Scotland’s most exciting voices in contemporary music, this event includes Katrin Klose’s powerful evocation of physical exhaustion in The Wall, alongside the world premieres of three newly commissioned pieces: Robert Laidlow’s AI-generated creation myths, a song for humans and nature by Lisa Robertson, and a site-specific work by Alistair MacDonald, immersing you in mystical visions with sonorous tones inspired by the cathedral’s bell. 

Robert Laidlow Post-Singularity Songs [first performance]
Lisa Robertson to almost nothing an unnatural silence in the air [first performance]
Katrin Klose The Wall
Alistair MacDonald AD 1136 [first performance]

Due to the layout of the vaulted crypt, some seats will have a restricted view of the performers. Please note the Lower Church is a multi-level space with uneven flooring—if you require assistance or cannot use stairs, please contact us when booking and we will ensure your access needs are supported.
