THE LIVING MOUNTAINThe Living Mountain is a solo audio-visual performance inspired by Scottish writer Nan Shepherd's celebrated book of the same name. The project explores Nan's writing, the Cairngorms (a mountain range in the Highlands of Scotland) and human connections with the wild through lyrical, melodic and visual interpretation. The live performance features music by Jenny Sturgeon and film curated by Shona Thomson; with stunning imagery from Scotland The Big Picture, filmmakers Robyn Spice and Hannah Bailey, as well as 1940s archive film from National Library of Scotland Moving Image Archive. The meditative experience of the combined audio and imagery are a soothing and poignant exploration of what it means to connect with a landscape and to find a sense of place.The Living Mountain tour in October 2021 and May 2022 saw audiences in sold out venues enjoy what was described as “beautiful and uplifting” (RnR Magazine) and an “outstanding piece of multi-media art... [where] inspired literature, gorgeously curated music and innovative filmmaking collide in a mosaic of integrated art” (Three Chords and The Truth - live review here). Jenny’s album ‘The Living Mountain’ was nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year awards in 2021, and in 2020 won Best Acoustic at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.The gig is in two parts. During the first 30 minutes Jenny sings songs connected to Scotland’s nature and landscape, the second hour-long part of the performance features the songs and accompanying visuals from her celebrated album ‘The Living Mountain’, with projection by Grant Anderson.“An exquisite, spellbinding, life-affirming and totally immersive experience.” Folking.com“One might argue it's only when moulded in the hands of artists like Jenny Sturgeon that powerful messages of the wilderness have the potential to move all our lives in a green direction.” Irish Music Magazine
