Sound of music will be under water

A SPECTACULAR underwater concert is to be held at the Tramway, Glasgow, as part of a sound, music and art festival in the city.

The Sonica 2017 festival will stage a show that has taken nine years to create, an event by Denmark’s Between Music that will see five musicians submerged in tanks of water playing instruments made especially for the occasion.

Elsewhere in the festival, which will run from October 26 to November 5, there will be 40 artists in 12 UK premieres and four world premieres. Artists from 12 countries will present work across the city.

Between Music has worked with deep sea divers, scientists and instrument-makers to create compositions for five musicians submerged in large tanks of water that will glow in the darkened gallery.

Tickets for AquaSonic are now on sale, with those for events available in July.
