Strathspey Queens

Strathspey Queens are Banchory cellist, Alice Allen and the Perthshire fiddler who is no stranger to the festival, Patsy Reid. These two, highly sought after and versatile musicians will be premiering a brand new composition by the brilliant, Simon Thoumire, entitled the Earl of Loudoun’s Strathspey. This new work, written especially for the pair, will join their already eclectic back catalogue, highlights of which we will also be treated to. Alongside Thoumire, expect classics from James Scott Skinner, William Marshall and their latest featured composer, Eddie McGuire. 

In addition to their Saturday Showcase, Alice and Patsy will be hosting the following workshops:

Alice Allen - *** - Develop your tone and intonation using a slow air and explore how technique and arm weight unlocks the core of your sound.

Patsy Reid - *** - ***
