Scottish Ensemble tour ‘Prelude (after Monsieur de Sainte Colombe)’
Posted on 02 Jun 2025
Scottish Ensemble are touring their ‘Concerts for a Summer’s Night’ programme around six Scottish venues this June, including my Prelude (after Monsieur de Sainte Colombe).
Scored for 2 violas, 2 celli and double bass, it’s my reworking of a solo viol piece by St Colombe, and was commissioned for the Musikdorf Ernen when I was Composer-in-Residence there in 2022. It has also been performed by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and 12 Ensemble.
They’re performing it in concerts in Perthshire, Strathpeffer, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh & Dundee, in a programme featuring soprano and composer Héloïse Werner.
