Please join us on Monday 26 May at 6:30pm for a special concert performance by Glisk, a contemporary string quartet based in Glasgow, featuring violinists Helena Zambrano Quispe and Kirsty Orton, violist Shelagh McKail, and cellist and former Cove Park commissioned artist Jessica Kerr.

Glisk will perform newly commissioned works inspired by the tree stories collected in Stories of People and Trees. These pieces span classical, traditional, and jazz genres, celebrating the stories behind our most cherished trees through captivating musical expressions.

This event is supported by a Chamber Music Scotland Small Venues Touring Award and is part of a West of Scotland tour in May 2025.

This free event welcomes young people and adults, appealing to those with a passion for music. Book your free ticket and we look forward to welcoming you to Cove Park. If you have questions about event accessibility, please get in touch with Senior Producer Alex Marrs.

Support

Cove Park is a charity and most of our funding for our residencies and engagement programming is paid by trusts, foundations and individual donors. Creative Scotland currently funds just 25% of our annual costs and individual philanthropy is essential to sustain our work.

Through our Engagement programme, we provide an inspiring environment for community and collaboration through creative and cultural workshops, events, and activities. Our programming has focused on rural isolation, geographic disadvantage, the impact of climate change upon our region, the preservation of Scotland’s rainforests, marine pollution, and the conservation of our natural heritage.

Community & Collaboration shares Cove Park’s unique resources – its outstanding 50-acre rural site and award-winning facilities – with the aim of enriching the cultural life of our region, protecting our local environment, transforming lives, and strengthening communities.

If you would like to help underwrite the costs required to keep our community engagement events free and open, you can join our Argyll Associates programme or give a donation when booking.
