Paragon Ensemble, Gilmorehill G12, Glasgow

Not all contemporary music, as I am fed up telling people, is unapproachable cacophony. Last night, stepping back from the cutting edge, the Paragon Ensemble, conducted by its artistic director Garry Walker, staged a concert to commemorate the birthday of Martin Luther King which was an exemplar of the thesis that modern music, without compromising itself, can be intensely melodic, endlessly lyrical, wholly accessible and completely engaging.
