Synergy Concerts Presents: Hannah Peel & Beibei Wang - The Endless Dance
Glasgow
14+ (under 16s with an adult)
The Endless Dance is the first collaborative album from Northern Irish producer and composer Hannah Peel and Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. The record is grounded in the strength of ancient concepts, but comes alive with the joy and freedom of play as together, Peel and Wang travel through the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar with a cornucopia of sound in tow – synths and prepared piano alongside traditional and unconventional percussion.
Both genre-defying, storied artists in their own right, Peel and Wang met while working on Manchester Collective’s 2023 album NEON. Wang was struck by Peel’s titular composition; a speculative portrait of the noise and lights of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. Peel’s uncanny ability to evoke the atmosphere of a city she had never been to led the pair to collaborate on a series of performances, beginning with a fully improvised show at Kings Place in London, June 2023.
They immediately began to map out a new, imagined space through sound. “In our heads, it was a place that neither of us had been to,” explains Peel. Perhaps this is somewhere no-one has been to before. “We wanted to create a different type of world through imagination,” she adds. The artistic freedom and chemistry of these performances led to The Endless Dance, something of a permanent record of their shared musical landscape, informed by the flora and fauna that emerge and retreat through the seasons.
Restoration Levy
Why do we have a restoration Levy?
Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building. As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.
If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
