[…] For their debut disc on EM Records, Full of the Highland Humours, Ensemble Hesperi turns its attention to London, to celebrate the Scottish music popular in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century London - by Scottish composers who spent most of their career there, and by Italian composers inspired by traditional Scots melodies.

Rising to the challenge: the East Neuk Festival returns in July with alfresco and pop-up performances, digital concerts and much more
[…] not be available to a public audience, but should this change then tickets will be available. The festival also has a customised van, complete with pop-up stage and musicians, and this will be stopping off throughout the area’s fishing villages and countryside to give free performances of classical, roots, jazz and traditional music, for those willing to brave the weather, on the streets of the Neuk. In the grounds of the National Trust for Scotland’s Kellie Castle in Pittenweem there will be an immense labyrinth cut into the grass of its wildflower meadow, inspired by the contours of the route of the Fife Coastal Path. The festival will also continue its work behind-the-scenes offering young artists the space and opportunity to take risks, and new directions in their work through its ENF Retreat scheme.
