Celtic Connections 2024
In this special performance, trailblazing string ensemble, Scottish Ensemble, collaborates with American double-bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. Hailed as “…the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument” (The New Yorker), Meyer will perform the European premiere of his Concertino for Strings and Double Bass – a tour-de-force of both breakneck speed and sonorous lyricism.
Other friends featuring in this varied evening where classical meets Celtic include Donald Grant and Mischa Macpherson for a set of Gaelic songs, and harpist/composer Ailie Robertson, whose work Archetypes brings to life characters that can be found in stories from across history and the globe.
This event is delivered in partnership with the University of Strathclyde, as part of their Diamond Jubilee programme. Celebrating the University’s unique contribution to the world since the granting of a Royal Charter in 1964, the Jubilee explores Strathclyde’s innovative approach to education and research and the institution’s impact on society over more than 225 years since its foundation in 1796, as well as looking to the future and the next chapter of the Strathclyde story.
