York Early Music Christmas Festival: Event 6
SEAN SHIBE & AIDAN O’ROURKE
Luban
Monday 9 December 7.30pm
£20.00 (£18.00 concessions | £7.00 under 35)
This new project brings together two extraordinarily talented Scottish musicians who are both embedded in tradition – let’s call them tradition bearers of their kind!
Sean Shibe, a former BBC New Generation Artist, carries a torch for classical music and Aidan O’Rourke (Lau) is deep-rooted in Scottish folk culture. Both gravitate to the edges of their traditions and thrive on roaming the hinterlands.
Join them to find out where they might meet. What shared language they might find in the backstreets, byways and marginalia of ancient Scottish lute and fiddle manuscripts. And maybe just a nod to this being a Christmas concert ….
‘Shibe’s performance was mesmerising… Their conviction was infectious‘ The Scotsman
‘one of the most compelling and touching recitals for the instrument I can recall‘ The Times
Aidan O’Rourke ‘a feast for the ears‘ The Guardian
