PIBROCH MASTERCLASS WITH ALLAN MACDONALD
A leading light in the Gaelic musical scene, 
Allan MacDonald
 is in demand internationally as a composer, musical director, piper, singer, workshop leader, and lecturer on Gaelic music, so we are delighted that he will be joining us for this masterclass.
Allan will talk about the relationship between pibroch, the Gaelic court music and Gaelic song. Going back to pibroch's origins, when it was a functional music transmitted aurally, he will discuss how it morphed into an ‘art music’ style that has left it floundering on a restricted competition stage. Allan himself has many years of experience as a player, composer and academic (with an MLitt thesis on this very subject), not to mention many of the major piping awards.
There will be demonstrations throughout and a relaxed atmosphere where attendees may ask questions. This masterclass is essentially non-participatory though Allan may get everyone singing along. 
In Traverse Two
Fees: £25/£18/£15 + eventbrite booking fee
All levels.
Event starts: 11am (90 minutes)
Part of Edinburgh Tradfest

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

Calton Hill

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
