Join Catriona Bourne and her quartet for an evening that celebrates the release of her debut album, Triquetra. An impulsive dive into experimental folk-jazz drawing off Catriona’s Scottish heritage, this performance promises to transport listeners through nostalgic and evocative pieces that explore the essence of a lost past.
The set paints vivid pictures of nature and landscapes, with the legendary Sligachan Bridge on the Isle of Skye and the iconic rowan trees that dot the Scottish countryside serving as inspiration. From the sophisticated harmonies of Francis Poulenc to the groove of Roy Hargrove, Catriona’s compositions blend elements of jazz, classical, and folk traditions, including reimaginings of traditional folk tunes and ballads.
This live performance promises moments of introspection and exuberance, reflecting the dual nature of nostalgia and the present moment. Catriona’s quartet bring a variety of colours and textures, including swirling electronic harp textures from Catriona, extraordinary guitar virtuosity from Francis Tulip, and a combination of driving power and sensitivity from James Owston and Joe Bainbridge.
CATRIONA BOURNE
Multi-instrumentalist Catriona Bourne marries technical virtuosity with unique sound-worlds to create exciting and original programmes. Her performances on electroacoustic harp and flute blend elements from classical, folk and jazz traditions, carefully curated around themes of nature and mythology. Catriona has played as a soloist and in small groups at venues including Kings Place, London Jazz Festival, Wilderness Festival, St. John’s Smith Square, and the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall.
Her new album Triquetra was funded by Youth Music’s NextGen Fund, made possible thanks to principal partner the Players of People’s Postcode Lottery, and support from Dr Martens Foundation. As a session musician, Catriona has worked with a number of artists including world-jazz singer Lea Mondo, performing at venues such as Ninety One Living Room and Crazy Coqs.
