Backstage De Bijloke for a delicious segue from Scottish lute manuscripts to Dowland from Sean Shibe & Dunedin Consort




Get yourself to Wigmore Hall on Wednesday, it's really classy singing of tunes old and brand new!


And that’s a wrap on our Isle of Wight tour! 12 performances, over 1000 audience members, and countless wonderful interactions and interpretations of Stripes. Huge thanks to IOW Music Hub for having us and to Arts Council England for making our work possible. #mentalhealthawareness



Spectacular setting and gorgeous acoustic Cheltenham Festivals for Dunedin Consort's last outing of Cassandra Miller's Chanter with Sean Shibe & John Butt. On BBC Radio 3 in due course, if you can't make it here in the next few hours...



Artistic planning ≠ great municipal projects but Prof Bent Flyvbjerg unpicking those generational megaprojects is a nice reminder of the power of making the time for percolation.


This was fab on the radio. Very excited to have both #AlexanderChance & Carolyn Sampson 🇪🇺 with us in Scotland this September Dunedin Consort.

František Ignác Antonín Tůma. Remember the names. Delightfully teenage love song for Mary, surely laying a path for Bernstein... Alexander Chance & Dunedin Consort on superlative form. Handful of tickets University of St Andrews Laidlaw Music Centre tonight for this, plus Vivaldi and Zelenka.




Spot the wind chimes Perth Theatre and Concert Hall this afternoon. Still time to come along to hear Carolyn Sampson 🇪🇺, Dunedin Consort, Paul Sharp, and John Butt in their Sunday best.



Unbelievably proud of everyone involved in this disc. Thank you to all our funders and supporters! You've helped make a stunner from Nardus Williams to #JohnButt and some pinch-me good playing, esp. from Matthew Truscott and Jonathan Manson. It's a privilege to make the tea!

Deeply deserved applause for a stellar line-up of musicians. James MacMillan's Since it was the day of Preparation is remarkable and moving—I really hope Dunedin Consort & Hebrides Ensemble get the chance to go again and again. Just need to dry my eyes and come back down to earth now.

This was a total privilege. If nothing else I hope you might go and listen to Anna Meredith's Heal you, Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Gaude et Laetare, Tarik O'Regan's Scattered Rhymes, or James MacMillan's Miserere on disc or live later in March with us Dunedin Consort...
