A monumental celebration of a Scottish legend, the GRIT Ensemble is a unique 80-piece orchestra that blurs the lines between folk, jazz, and classical music. Originally assembled by Celtic Connections to honour the late, great Martyn Bennett, this massive collective is led by conductor Greg Lawson. The ensemble performs breathtaking orchestral reimagining’s of Bennett’s pioneering genre-fusion works, bringing his “Grit” and “Bothy Culture” masterpieces to life with symphonic scale. Featuring some of Scotland’s finest musicians, the performance is a visceral, emotional experience that captures the wild spirit of the Highlands and the pulse of the city. For the Glasgow crowd, it is a rare opportunity to witness a truly epic tribute to a visionary who changed the face of Scottish music forever.
