Multi-media artist Maria Rud creating images in Edinburgh s St Giles Cathedral.
Jazz musicians let rip while Russian painter and multi-media artist Maria Rud creates spontaneous images inside Edinburgh’s oldest cathedral in a series of live, online performances. Gayle Ritchie finds out more.
It is billed as the most ambitious, multi-dimensional event ever staged by the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.
Where Rivers Meet, brings together live music, live painting and architecture in the striking setting of Edinburgh’s 12th Century St Giles’ Cathedral.
The project features four outstanding saxophone soloists and the vividly expressive creations of Russian painter and multi-media artist Maria Rud.
