St Giles' Cathedral

'Luminescence' - with Maria Rud and Tommy Smith

Maria Rud and Tommy Smith, along with St Giles’ Cathedral, present an evening of solo saxophone and live painting, projected onto the East Wall of the cathedral. After a successful recording of 'Where Rivers Meet' with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, Maria and Tommy join forces again for a unique collaboration within St Giles' 12th century walls. A truly unique experience, come along to see the cathedral in a whole new light. <a href="https://www.mariarudart.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">M﻿aria Rud</a> is a painter living and working in Edinburgh.
