Sequoia Duo

Sequoia is an award-winning string duo, dedicated to exploring the natural world through music.

WATER MUSIC source to sea was conceived as a sonic imagining of the journey taken by a raindrop as it crosses Scotland. Field recordings, new commissions and existing works by J. S. Bach and contemporary classical and folk composers combine to create a sonic immersion in one of Scotland’s most iconic natural resources. The project highlights this and celebrates its power as a creative force. Sequoia curated the musical narrative to reflect its changing nature, juxtaposing different styles and timbre to chart the course from delicate raindrop to crashing wave, flurrying stream to serene hill loch.
