Edinburgh University Strings

Students in the Edinburgh University string orchestra are spending a few days on Arran and have generously offered two free concerts. One, in Shiskine Hall, will have taken place by the time this issue of the Voice goes live, but the second is at Brodick Church on Monday evening, 2nd June, at 7.00 pm. The programme is an enticing one, with John Ireland’s A Downland Suite, followed by the well-loved Bach Double Violin Concerto and Grieg’s Holberg Suite. Also included is a double bass concerto by Alex Lamb, which won the Emre Araci composition contest. There’s no charge for entry, though donations would of course be welcomed.
