Further Music Society concerts


The winter season continues as follows:

Saturday November 15th at 1:30 pm – Total Brass, in Brodick Hall. This brilliant young brass quintet won the coveted Tunnell Award.

Saturday January 17th at 1:30 pm – Ceol Alba, in the High School Theatre for the grand piano. Ceol Alba is Gaelic for ‘Scotland’s Music’, and consists of 5 players on flute, violin, harp, bass and piano. Lovely music, both classic and traditional.

Saturday February 21st at 1:30 pm – Trio Ecossaise, again in the Theatre, as this is a wonderfully talented piano trio, Claire Haslin on piano, Jennifer Brown on clarinet and Harriet Davidson on cello. All of them are fabulous in the own right – not to be missed!

Saturday March 21st at 3:00 pm (note the different time) – we are delighted to welcome back the Kammer Philharmonie Europa, who will play in Brodick Hall.
