Programme Note

Music in Peebles is proud to unveil its first co-commission with Enterprise Music Scotland. The world premiere of a new work  by Peebles harpist, singer-songwriter and composer Esther Swift will be accompanied by film produced by her brother Tom.


Esther says “I’ve always been really inspired by nature in my compositions and try to interweave natural patterns and sounds into my minimalist, folk, jazz and dance inspired writing style. This project is a chance for me to delve into the complex and relentless sound world of water using string quartet, voice and harp.”


Esther will be joined by the Brodick Quartet, consisting of four of Scotland’s finest young string players. The quartet will play a selection of Nordic folk tunes arranged by the Danish String Quartet for their hugely successful album ‘Wood Works’. The concert ends with the ever-popular First String Quartet by Tchaikovsky, with its famous ‘Andante Cantabile’ second movement, often heard in its arrangement for string orchestra.
