With Fred Freeman.
The songs of Robert Burns seem to define Scotland’s cultural mainstream.
Here Professor Freeman throws controversial light on the poet’s status
as a musician. Why did Burns reject the approach of Beethoven and Haydn
to his art, and does he still hold his own ground today? Based on the
recent Athenaeum Lectures.
TRACS (Traditional Arts & Culture Scotland, SC043009) brings together the Traditional Music Forum (SC042867), the Scottish Storytelling Forum (SC020891) and the Traditional Dance Forum of Scotland (SC045085) to provide a common platform and collective voice for Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, and to improve the knowledge, practice, development and advocacy of traditional arts in a contemporary world, making them more accessible to all. TRACS is based at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, which is a partnership project between the Storytelling Forum and The Church of Scotland (SC011353). All three Forums are Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations with their office at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SR.
