The Songs of Scotland with Peter Walker

Sunday, March 3 – 3 PM

Croton Free Library

Scotland was home to a vibrant musical culture in the 18th century, from the songs of Robert Burns to the Gaelic piping of the Highlands. A flourishing music publishing industry in Edinburgh produced numerous collections of instrumental music and songs. Peter Walker presents a program of pieces from these collections, ranging from songs of Jacobites and Highland regiments to pastoral love songs and traditional ballads, as well as piping tunes played on a replica of a set of smallpipes dated to 1757. Peter has been described as a “rich-voiced” and “vivid” singer in a New York Times review, and an “impressive” and “exciting” piper by clevelandclassical.com.
