Scottish Ensemble: in Sync
Join Scottish Ensemble for an energetic and interactive afternoon of folk and classical string music for all ages, performed entirely from memory.
If you’re looking to be swept off your feet, look no further: this is music that moves and uplifts, whisking you between centuries and continents. Through movement and storytelling, the ensemble’s performers bring you closer to the humans at the heart of the music.
Created with Nottingham-based MishMash Productions, champions of warm and welcoming experiences of classical music, this is a show for those who might not usually consider coming along to a classical concert, and for seasoned listeners looking to see music presented a little differently.
