Join us ONLINE, Sunday 9 March, 4–6 pm, Irish time for our Harpers' Gathering community social time, hosted by HHSI volunteer, Barbara Karlik. Come and enjoy harp-related talk, share your projects and progress, and try out tunes you want to play in front of a small, very supportive audience.
From 5 pm, enjoy an informal interview with this month's guest, Barnaby Brown. Barnaby is dedicated to revealing the ancient artistic traditions of Scotland’s music. Brought up in Glasgow, he leads the revival of the northern triplepipe, the precursor of the bagpipe in Britain and Ireland. He also champions the art of canntaireachd, the mouth music of the Highland bagpipe, and has been reproducing historic bagpipe chanters with Julian Goodacre since 1998. His blend of historical and ethnographic musical materials has led to repeat engagements at the Edinburgh International Festival, Galway Early Music Festival, Scène nationale d’Orléans, Spitalfields Festival, William Kennedy Piping Festival, St Albans International Organ Festival and Celtic Connections. Between 2006 and 2012 he lectured at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He currently teaches on the BA Scottish Music (Piping) programme at the National Piping Centre and is writing a PhD thesis on pibroch at the University of Cambridge, funded by the AHRC project ‘Bass culture in Scottish musical traditions’.
Barnaby Brown and harpist Bill Taylor will be co-teaching the course, Piobaireachd: The 'Great Music' of Gaelic Scotland for the spring 2025 term of Acadamh na gCláirseach.
