In the sleepy port town of Bellingham, Washington, sixteen-year-old aspiring composer Bear McCreary imagined and wrote his own films, just so he could score them. His myriad of credits includes the hit series Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, and Outlander; the films Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Happy Death Day, and 10 Cloverfield Lane; and Sony PlayStation’s iconic God of War video-game series. Currently, McCreary is scoring The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Amazon Studios’ record-shattering series.
McCreary recently announced The Singularity, an ambitious multimedia project that combines an eclectic rock concept album, a graphic novel published by Image Comics, and a live concert. McCreary is joined by an extraordinary ensemble, including legends such as Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Rufus Wainwright, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Jens Kidman (Meshuggah), Joe Satriani, Buck Dharma (Blue Öyster Cult), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), and Scott Ian (Anthrax), among many others. The accompanying story is revealed in three spoken-word monologues, performed by celebrated actors Lee Pace (The Hobbit), Danai Gurira (Black Panther), and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy). Beyond The Singularity, McCreary partnered with multiplatinum artist Hozier, cowriting and performing “Blood Upon the Snow” for God of War Ragnarök. He has also collaborated with Fiona Apple for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Shirley Manson (Garbage) for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) for 2019’s Child’s Play. He was honored to work closely with the iconic Sinéad O’Connor on the seventh season Outlander main title theme, a recording that tragically became her last.
Why do we have a restoration Levy?
Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building.
As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.
If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
