In collaboration with the British Council and the Institut Français, we’re delighted to again host a satellite event for Harpsichord en Fête. This performance brings together musicians based in France and Scotland, exploring Scottish fiddle music written by female musicians. The period of the late 18th and century is known as the Golden Age of Scottish fiddle music, but music by women has largely remained unexplored, despite there being a relatively large amount of surviving material collected, arranged, composed, and published by female musicians. This performance marks the beginning of a project bringing this repertoire to light, from beautiful airs to foot-stomping reels.
