From Henry Purcell to Philip Glass, this RNS Moves concert moves through four centuries of music. Expect shimmering textures, meditative moments and music that seems to suspend time by Caroline Shaw, Arvo Pärt, Markus Zahnhausen, Mozart and Dani Howard.
Opening with the elegant curtain music from Timon of Athens, the programme moves through the glowing harmonies of Caroline Shaw and the still, meditative beauty of Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel. Markus Zahnhausen’s Lux Aeterna and Mozart’s delicate Adagio for Glass Harmonica bring moments of light and reflection, before Dani Howard’s sparkling Vino Encores adds a burst of energy. The evening closes with the third movement of Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3, where pulsing rhythms and shimmering strings create a sound world that’s both hypnotic and deeply moving.
A chance to slow down, switch off and immerse yourself in beautiful music for a Sunday afternoon to remember.
This event will last for approximately 60 minutes without an interval.

About RNS Moves
RNS Moves is a one-of-a-kind musical ensemble made up of professional disabled musicians and non disabled members of Royal Northern Sinfonia. Together, they are pioneering a new style of inclusive musicmaking with improvisation and experimentation at its heart. One that breaks boundaries and flips expectations. One where everyone has an equal voice and the chance to shine. One that hopefully won’t be one of a kind much longer.
RNS Moves performances are unforgettable experiences. Using a combination of traditional orchestral and electronic instruments, they weave together music from different eras, genres, and cultures into bold, innovative programmes with something to say about the world we live in. Whether it’s a fresh spin on a bit of Beethoven, an ancient folk song brought bang up to date, or a new piece written especially for them, they’ll make it sound amazing.
RNS Moves meet at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead several times a year to collaborate and create. They invite inspiring and pioneering artists to join them, to bring new perspectives, and to learn from each other. They’ve forged partnerships with world-leading musicians, including Kenyan nyatti virtuoso Rapasa Otieno Nytrapasa and leading contemporary composer and singer Heloise Werner.
