Tonight – Art Music + Art Fashion!!!

Wednesday, 7th November – 7 PM
Greyfriars Church, Dumfries DG1 1DF
Admission is free.

The much anticipated launch of Lisa Gallacher’s bespoke garment collection TRDM: Dumfries. Furthermore, The World Premiere of Suzanne Parry John’s song-cycle Tidemarks.

Lisa Gallacher has been working for four months with a group of ten volunteers from the community of Dumfries – members of the group range in age from 15 to 86 years old. The work started with conversations about each person’s individual relationship to the town, and this then grew into an idea for ten bespoke garments. Lisa has designed and printed the fabrics, then designed and made all of the work herself. At tonight’s event, she will give an illustrated talk about the project, and her group will be in attendance wearing the garments they have created together.

Suzanne Parry John is a contemporary young composer based in Edinburgh. Commissioned by The Stove to produce an original piece of music for Inbetween, Dumfries, Suzanne turned to the River Nith as a starting point and discovered the poems of Hugh McMillan. She made contact with the poet, and they have collaborated on this original song-cycle inspired by the Nith, entitled Tidemarks.
