GACO X ĀE ENSEMBLE presents: Listening back! opening event

Listening Back! comes to The Glad Cafe for its first in-person Glasgow event, part of a month-long community fundraiser supporting Listen Gallery's move to a new accessible space. The evening opens with a GACO-hosted Open Session, a chance for anyone to gather and improvise together, embodying the collective listening and mutual aid at the heart of the campaign.

The night closes with a performance from Ae Ensemble (Masha Zhuravlova, Annabel Stevens, Celia Griffiths — violin; August Zillig, Lauren Jack — viola; Ellamay Mantie — cello), presenting a programme spanning old and new, including a world premiere of Taner Kemirtlek's Mungo's Pavane, a lament for Glasgow's lost cultural spaces.

All proceeds support Listen Gallery's new premises. Please contact GACO directly at [email protected] if you are unable to pay but wish to attend the event.
