Warm up your lunchtime with Soup and a Show in Mareel's Auditorium! Enjoy a tasty bowl of soup while experiencing live performances from talented performers. These relaxed, informal shows are the perfect way to spend your lunch break - something a little different to brighten your day.
Esther's performance is at once virtuosic and tender, dramatic and meditative - summoning the old and the new through both familiar and unexpected harmonic shifts, melodies rooted in tradition yet boldly innovative, and vocals that soar with emotional intensity.
Esther Swift solo tour previews her new EP Moon Dreams. The EP highlights her captivating solo performance with harp and voice in its first three tracks, followed by remixes from her acclaimed album Expectations of a Lifetime, forming a striking contrast in the EP's second half.
The opening track, Hope, is a heartfelt call for love and connection. The title track, Moon Dreams, evokes the romance of nature's cycles - its pushes and pulls. The third track is a reimagining of Dream Angus, a traditional Scottish lullaby that reflects both the beauty and hardship of rural life in Scotland.
