Trotternish Gaelic Choir - Guthan Thròndarnais

Barnaby Brown has been working with singers in the Trotternish community to emancipate Gaelic choirs from the clichés of Victoriana and cultural colonialism. The programme includes a bardic contest between Iain Lom and Domhnall Gruamach, a hymn by St Columba, a vocal rendition of Charles MacArthur's "Cumha an Ridire Seumas MacDhomhnuill nan Eilean", and settings of poetry by Maoileas Caimbeul and Catrìona NicDhòmnaill. This project is part of Scotland's Year of the Artist Residency Programme. The concert will feature a pibroch, newly composed and played by Barnaby Brown.
