Almost two weeks ago, I photographed a very special concert by The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra at the stunning St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh (Scotland) called 'Where Rivers Meet'. The concert features artist Maria Rud painting live to the music of some great composers. The art was then projected onto the stained-glass windows of the cathedral.
The concert features four suites by the SNJO, which will go out on the internet over four consecutive nights and feature soloists Tommy Smith, Konrad Wiszniewski, Paul Towndrow and Martin Kershaw.
Go to livestream.snjo.co.uk to experience the visual and sonic world of WHERE RIVERS MEET from St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh.
