Our debut Perth Festival of the Arts performance with a programme celebrating the ‘Auld Alliance’ in music.
For our first ever appearance at the Perth Festival of the Arts, we present a programme celebrating the bonds between ‘Auld’ friends, Scotland and France. Featuring music composed for the distinctive ensemble of harp, winds and strings, the lustrous sounds of Debussy, Ravel, Françaix and Messiaen are complemented perfectly by the Caledonian-infused timbres of Cresswell, Beamish and Weir.
