I had great pleasure in joining other elected members at the Cumnock Tryst's Celebration 10th Anniversary Reception held at East Ayrshire Leisure's Baird Institute in Cumnock this lunchtime (5/10/24).
The Exhibition at the Baird Institute, which is on until 11th January 2025 celebrates the Cumnock Tryst's festival and community engagement programme by looking back at some of its most exciting and innovative creative projects over the past decade. It explores some of the wonderful collaborations the festival has developed to bring about opportunities for people to experience the joy of creating music in many different ways.
Some of the projects showcased in this exhibition include Sonic Creations, a visual and performing arts celebration of sound, sculpture and light, The Moss and the Cosmos film, a beautiful exploration of East Ayrshire, the people and the place as part of A Musical Celebration of the Coalfields, and Abstract Excavationism: The Art of Industrial Land Reclamation.
This series of photographs by celebrated photographer and musician Simon Butterworth is the source of inspiration for new compositions by young people in this year’s anniversary festival as part of The Music of Land Reclamation, a composition project for Higher and Advanced Higher Music students at the Robert Burns Academy, led by Sir James MacMillan and Gillian Walker.
The Exhibition can be viewed at the Baird Institute in Cumnock between now and the 11th January. For more information click on the links below:
