Description
Extraordinary concert of French airs de cour and their baroque admirers – Lully, Lambert, Tessier, Purcell, Handel... Elspeth McVeigh's hauntingly pure voice transports you to the royal court of 17th-century France. Expertly and sensitively accompanied by Andrew Forbes on the original 1764 Yohann Adolph Hass harpsichord from the St Cecilia's Museum collection. An experience and opportunity not to be missed. 'Her singing has a storytelling quality to it, which takes the listener on a metaphorical journey.' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'An oasis of calm... perfect diction... gentle manner' **** (ThreeWeeks).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
