Travel to composer Erland Cooper’s homeland on the Orkney Islands through his lush compositions - given new life in a show designed specifically for live broadcast, introduced by Mary Anne Hobbs.

Erland Cooper has created a journey through Scotland's Orkney Islands - air, sea, land, community and dialect - in his Orkney Triptych of albums: Solan Goose, Sule Skerry and Hether Blether.

His layered strings, piano, field recordings and electronics, performed by Cooper and his nest of musicians along with a small cluster of players from the London Contemporary Orchestra, seamlessly form one audio-visual piece with footage and imagery from Erland's artistic partner Alex Kozobolis for a truly surrounding experience.

Erland, formerly of The Magnetic North and Erland & The Carnival, was due to perform all three albums in his Orkney Triptych at the Barbican this year, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a larger scale performance is being rescheduled for 2021.
