Join Heely as he takes you on an interactive journey through the tradition and discover how the violin became the voice of ancient melodies from traditional songs and dances. Heely discusses what made the violin a prime candidate for saving the music of the Highland bagpipes from extinction and how it became a storyteller of the history of a culture through the centuries and into the present. All instrumentalists are welcome to participate in learning a tune, regardless of experience.
The second concert presented at The Mansion at Strathmore as part of the 2019 Strathmore Artist in Residence program. Sean will give the world-premiere performance of an original composition.
