SUMMARY:Edinburgh Quartet Lunchtime Concert
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is hosted by an external organisation and not St Cecilia’s Hall. For any enquiries about this specific event please see the organiser contact information below. \n\nBeethoven’s Op. 18 No. 6 captures the composer at his most playful and searching\, its extraordinary final movement — marked La Malinconia — a glimpse of the revolutionary writing to come. Haydn’s beloved ‘Emperor’ Quartet\, with its great set of variations on the melody that became Austria’s national anthem\, is one of the most deeply satisfying works in the entire quartet canon. \nAt the heart of the programme sits something truly extraordinary: the world premiere of a recently discovered quartet by Pál Hermann. Hungarian-born and tragically killed in the Holocaust in 1944\, Hermann left behind a small but remarkable body of work. To bring this quartet to life for the very first time is both a privilege and a responsibility\, and a reminder of what was silenced and of music’s power to endure. \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Sypert Early Music Concert - Silent Speech: Ganassi’s Vision of the Human Voice
DESCRIPTION:Anna Stegmann (recorder) & Corina Marti (harpsichord)  \nMusic in the 16th century was closely connected to the human voice\, even when played on instruments. The art of diminution\, ornamenting a simple line\, allowed performers to shape music with expression and individuality. In La Fontegara (1535)\, Silvestro Ganassi presents the recorder not just as an instrument\, but as a means of speech\, capable of expressing a variety of nuances through grances and diminutions. In his treatise\, diminutions become more than decoration—they are gestures of rhetoric\, bringing lines to life.  \nThis programme explores that tradition within the rich musical culture of 16th-century Venice\, where vocal polyphony and improvisation flourished. From the lyrical simplicity of the frottola to the intricate textures of Franco-Flemish composers\, these works invite transformation through instrumental interpretation. Ganassi’s vision unites them: music as persuasive\, expressive utterance.  \nThrough this lens\, instrumental performance becomes a living language\, where breath\, imagination\, and individuality give voice to written notes\, continuing a practice that remains vital and eloquent today.  \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here\n\nTickets can be purchased on the door.

SUMMARY:Madame Florentine Besson and the Birth of the Modern Trumpet
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Sabine Klaus as she explores the role of Madame Florentine Besson in the invention of the modern trumpet\, with live demonstrations.\n \n\n\nThe origin of the modern piston-valve trumpet—the trumpet used in most countries today—is often associated with the French firm of Besson. But when and by whom was this iconic trumpet design invented? French patents\, issued to Florentine Besson née Ridoux (1829-1877)\, wife of founder Gustave Auguste Besson (1820-1875)\, unambiguously shine light on her role in the invention of the modern trumpet. Married to Gustave Besson in 1847 at the age of 18\, Florentine was not only the mother of his four children (three daughters and a son) but clearly an equal business partner who was likely trained in the trade by her husband. Be transported into the mid-nineteenth-century world of a competent\, technically savvy\, international businesswoman\, mother and inventor of one of the most influential instruments of the modern age\, the trumpet. Dr Sabine Klaus will be assisted by curator Dr Sarah Deters\, who will demonstrate various trumpets from the St Cecilia’s Hall collections.\n \nDr Sabine K. Klaus is Professor Emerita from the University of South Dakota and most recently served in the role of Mirrey Keyboard Instrument Cataloguer at the University of Edinburgh’s Musical Instrument Museum. From 1999–2023 she was Joe R. and Joella F. Utley Curator of Brass Instruments at the National Music Museum\, University of South Dakota. She is the author of a five-volume book series\, Trumpets and Other High Brass\, published between 2012 and 2024.\n \nPart of the Women’s History Month Celebration Series 2026.\n \nPlease note that\, due to the temporary closure of St Cecilia’s Hall\, this talk will be held at the Centre for Research Collections\, located within the University of Edinburgh Main Library\, NOT at St Cecilia’s Hall.\n \n\n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here

DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s quiet concert featuring music from FOLK(ISH) with the Haver String Quartet. We have thought about some of the sensory issues that can keep people away from many events and made some small but important adjustments. What we will do differently includes: \n\nAsking audiences for quiet applause\, such as only using 2 fingers from each hand\, patting the leg\, or using the BSL sign for applause\n\n\nKeeping the concert to one hour in length and having breaks between pieces every 10 minutes so that you can move around\, wriggle or chat quietly for a few minutes\n\n\nKeeping light levels low\n\n\nUsing rugs\, cushions and benches as well as chairs so that you can sit how you prefer\n\n\nKeeping numbers down to avoid crowding\n\n\nChoosing relatively quiet instruments from the University’s world-famous Musical Instrument Collection and not using electric amplification\n\n\nScheduling in the afternoon so you don’t have to travel home in the dark or when the streets are too busy\n\n\nProviding a space in the Laigh Hall to escape to if you need it\n\n\nThe musicians who will be performing are all highly skilled\, so you will experience top-quality music making.\n\nIf this appeals to you\, why not come along? Consultant and Autist in Residence: Lucy Whitehead \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here
