Burns Night Celebration
Friday 25th January, 7.30pm, Burns Monument Centre, Kilmarnock
Join us for a Burns Night celebration in an evening of Scottish songs with Mezzo-soprano Anne Lewis and musician Bill Taylor.
The performance will include a programme of traditional Scots songs
and airs, many of which are taken from the Scots Musical Museum, by
James Johnson and Robert Burns, published between 1787 and 1803. Other
pieces in the recital will come from a variety
of historical sources and include different melodies, lyrics and
settings from 17th-18th century collections for lute, mandore, fiddle
and keyboard.
There will be plenty of familiar Burns favourites and also some
less well-known, along with some beautiful Scots airs played on the
Highland wire-strung clarsach and a copy of an early 18th-century
gut-strung hook harp.
Tickets priced £10/£8 concession are available from the Dick
Institute on 01563 554300 or the Burns Monument Centre on 01563 576695.
