After a difficult 18 months for so many, the Dee and Don Ceilidh Collective are delighted to launch a series of workshops encouraging people to not only connect with their local landscape and each other online but to work with some of Scotland\u2019s most revered traditional musicians to learn specially composed music and song.<\/p>\n
The project, which is free to all taking part, is entitled \u201cOur Living Rivers and Glens\u201d and has encouraged participants to explore their local environment and to collect their responses in word, sound, video and images which have then been uploaded on an online map. The composers, including fiddlers Charlie McKerron of Capercaillie and Tarland\u2019s Paul Anderson have drawn inspiration from the map to form new music and have met with participants through online zoom workshops which allowed them to be involved in the creative process.<\/p>\n
Participants can also work alongside fiddlers Adam Sutherland and Arthur Coates and multi instrumentalists Hamish Napier and Fraser Fifield but there have also been three new songs composed by singers Jenny Sturgeon, Iona Fyfe and Shona Donaldson. As well as first class composers, experienced and well regarded tutors Averil Blackhall, Grace Banks, Pete MacCallum and Carola MacCallum are involved in the zoom workshops and will teach the new tunes on a variety of instruments including fiddle, guitar, voice and clarsach.<\/p>\n
Workshops start from the 25th October and run through until mid November. They are free and suitable for all ages and levels of ability.
