Internationally renowned musical duo FitkinWall bring Harpland to London for the first time. Harpland draws on the theme of migration, and weaves traditional Scottish and Gaelic melodies with 21st-century sound tech, and a specially commissioned light installation from acclaimed artist Peter Freeman. 

Immerse yourself in a moving sound world, including extracts of poignant interviews with migrants from around the world, exploring themes of loss and longing.

Composer Graham Fitkin has worked with Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, New York City Ballet. He has won three BASCA composer awards and the Royal Philharmonic Society Composer Award 2015. 

FitkinWall have performed around the world – from the Royal Albert Hall, BBC Proms, Aldeburgh  and Glastonbury Festivals to Spiral Hall Tokyo, Aula Magna Rome and tours in Iceland, Sweden and Italy. 

  • The harp is luminous, pastoral and urban at the same time under Wall’s fingers, she pushes the instrument to its limits and Fitkin’s music allows for a certain steeliness and discordance. The sound is immaculate.

  • …a series of musical equations that work their way through the ears into the mind, their rhythmic and melodic themes interweaving, rising and falling. It feels by turn widescreen and microscopic. It’s subtle, uncluttered, minimal and extremely focusing… a thoroughly absorbing world of tension, suspension and release.
