News / Scottish Ensemble to visit
The Scottish Ensemble will take up a four day mini residency in Shetland starting on 31 July.
During their time in the isles the ensemble will be playing a varied programme of events culminating in a concert at Mareel on 3 August.
On the night the ensemble will team up with Shetland’s Chris Stout (fiddle) and Catriona McKay (Scottish harp).
The concert will feature two double concertos; Sally Beamish’s composition Seavaigers, about a sea journey from Dundee to Shetland, and Bach’s concerto for two violins.
Tickets for this concert will go on sale on Saturday 18 May at 2pm via Shetland Box Office.
The ensemble’s chief executive Thorben Dittes said: “Our residencies are all about developing relationships with communities.
“We respond to their individual needs by crafting a tailored programme of on- and off-platform events specific to the local area.”
The project is sponsored by Inksters Solicitors and Arts and Business Scotland. More info at www.mareel.co.uk
