City Halls : Grand Hall

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

A highly-attuned band of twelve exceptional string players from around Europe, The Scottish Ensemble have won international acclaim for their boldly distinctive programming, which draws widely from across the last three centuries while frequently commissioning new works and collaborating with non-classical musicians.

Capercaillie lead singer Karen Matheson has performed live with the Ensemble on several occasions, also featuring them on her solo recordings, as did Shetland fiddle legend Aly Bain on his 1995 Follow the Moonstone suite. This comprised traditional tunes arranged by the leading Norwegian composer Henning Sommero, who has written a new piece of music for Bain to premiere tonight.
