Folk music has inspired many musicians, not least this year’s festival composer Sally Beamish. For the festival’s grand opening concert, we have put together an exciting program from several continents. There will be fiery Spanish dances for piano trio, beautiful Armenian songs for string quartet and Bolivian baroque music for the brass ensemble. Last but not least, energetic Scottish music by Beamish with her work Seavaigers.
