Brìghde Chaimbeul With Scottish Ensemble
Brìghde Chaimbeul has set the world of Celtic music alight. She pairs mastery of the Scottish smallpipes with a creative, forward-looking approach to the Scottish Gaelic music tradition that has gained her a devoted international fanbase. Chaimbeul joins forces with Scottish Ensemble, a group of string players renowned for their ambitious cross-genre collaborations. Stunning visuals are provided by filmmaker Jonny Ashworth, creator of Brìghde’s haunting and memorable music videos. Together, their performance features live and electronic sound, as well as bewitching footage of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. It's an exploration of Celtic mythology and storytelling, with new and traditional tunes emerging from a deep, earthy soundscape of heavy drones. If you’re new to the distinctive sound of the smallpipes, there’s no better place to start. Produced by Scottish Ensemble.
