(⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Binge Fringe Magazine)"profound" (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corr Blimey)"crowd-pleasing tunes and showmanship" (⭐⭐⭐⭐Three Weeks)"exhilarating hour of music - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" (Fringe Review)Moonlight Concerts return to Edinburgh with a musical show inspired by Scotland.A dram of whisky, kilts, sporrans and a dramatic reciting of Rabbie Burns’ great Tam O'Shanter meet Scottish folk music, masterpieces inspired by the beauty of Scotland and a sing-along performance of his world-famous Auld Lang Syne. Tonight’s musical programme includes the most haunting Scottish melodies ever composed: Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ Farewell to Stromness, Burns’ Lea Rigg and Mendelssohn’s Overture to the Hebrides – by intimate candlelight. Award-winning concert pianist Matthew Shiel and renowned author Alastair Sim meet alongside a digital art exhibition and lightshow designed by acclaimed Chinese artist and Disney illustrator Emma Yitong Shen – to create an immersive musical experience which the press are calling “a ripping good yarn. 5 stars!”“The absolute highlight of the night was when Sim declaimed Burns’ epic poem “Tam o’ Shanter”: all about witches, demons, and a haunted, hectic horse ride. Sim would read several stanzas and then pause while Shiel punctuated the performance from selections from a “Tam o’ Shanter” musical arrangement, making for a ripping good yarn.”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Binge Fringe https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/cd2748c0-d6d4-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w1110-h740-dc070705-gmir.jpg PROGRAMMEAe Fond Kiss - Robert BurnsScotland the Brave and Loch Lomond - TraditionalYe Banks and Bonnie Braes - Robert BurnsFarewell to Stromness – Sir Peter Maxwell DaviesSechs Ecossaisen (‘Six Scottish Dances’) – Ludwig van BeethovenLocheil’s March – TraditionalLea Rigg – Robert Burns (arranged for piano by Alexander Reinagle)Mol’s Plate – TraditionalOverture to the Hebrides (‘Fingal’s Cave’) – Felix Mendelssohn (arranged for piano duet)Tam O’ Shanter – Robert Burns (with piano accompaniment by George Warren)Auld Lang Syne – Robert Burns https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/cdf85460-d6d4-11f0-a871-a7cabfa47992-rimg-w493-h740-dc030202-gmir.jpg Matthew Shiel'Matthew Shiel shone' (Three Weeks) and 'Matthew Shiel 'composed' a most enchanting concert. 5 stars!'
