SUMMARY:Ethan Ward Quiet Concert I: Fantasia - works for flute and keyboard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s quiet concert featuring music from Richard Craig (flutes) and Chris Baxter (keyboard).\n\nWe have thought about some of the sensory issues that can keep people away from many events and made some small but important adjustments.\n\nWhat we will do differently includes:\n\n 	Asking 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\n 	Keeping 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\n 	Keeping light levels low\n\n\n 	Using rugs\, cushions and benches as well as chairs so that you can sit how you prefer\n\n\n 	Keeping numbers down to avoid crowding\n\n\n 	Choosing relatively quiet instruments from the University’s world-famous Musical Instrument Collection and not using electric amplification\n\n\n 	Scheduling in the afternoon so you don’t have to travel home in the dark or when the streets are too busy\n\n\n 	Providing a space in the Laigh Hall to escape to if you need it\n\n\n 	The 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?\n\nConsultant and Autist in Residence: Lucy Whitehead\n\n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Gong Bath at St Cecilia's Hall
DESCRIPTION:Experience the mesmerising sounds of gongs resonating in the unique setting in St Cecilia’s Concert Hall\, Edinburgh.\n\nTake some time out from the busy lives we live and simply ‘be’ with therapeutic sound. Typically\, you lay down to receive the sound which enables your mind\, body and senses to subtly release\, inviting a sense of relaxation. There are spaces available to lay down\, but if you prefer there are comfortable seating options available to attend as a viewer/listener.\n\n* What is involved?\n\nYou may be guided with words to encourage your body\, mind and senses to shift into a presence of being. People who have attended sessions in the past have felt this beneficial to prepare for the sound; however\, on occasion this is not included if Melissa is intuitively guided to move directly with sound.\n\nYou will receive approximately 60 minutes of sound created by gongs\, shruti box\, voice and some other ambient sounds. This is an opportunity for you to immerse with sound and switch off to the outer world.\n\n* What do I need to bring?\n\nIf you are laying down\, you will be for approximately 60 minutes. Please be mindful of your own body and what may support it to be comfortable. Many people bring a yoga mat and something thicker to place on top of this; a cushion or pillow for your head; a blanket; eye-mask; and whatever else you feel may be an enhancement to help your body to be comfortable.\n\n* Are you are a student?\n\nThis event opens a warm welcome to new and returning students studying in the beautiful city of Edinburgh with special tickets available.\n\n* Are you a member of the public living in or visiting the city?\n\nThe invitation to attend is open to you also at the general or concession rate!\n\n* Please note that all participants are required to be in silence with phones off or on silent/airplane mode. Talking/whispering is not permitted since this is a therapeutic experience\, together we would like to embrace a collective agreement to support each other to cultivate this environment.\n\n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Instrumental Women of Fender
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, 4th September at St Cecilia’s Hall for one of our informal talk series lectures with historian Jayme Kurland. In 1946\, the electric guitar company Fender began its operations in southern California and relied on a small group of Mexican American women to wire amplifiers\, wind pickups\, and assemble their products\, among other tasks. In this talk\, historian Jayme Kurland discusses who the women of Fender were\, the unique skills that they brought to their work\, and their impact on American popular music. Jayme Kurland is a Ph.D. candidate in history at George Mason University in Virginia\, US. She has worked with musical instrument collections in curatorial positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC\, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston\, and the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Her dissertation project\, “Instrumental Women: Amplifying Women’s Labor at Fender Electric Instruments Company (1946-1965)\,” examines the contributions of Mexican American women workers to the manufacturing of electric guitars and amplifiers in Fullerton\, California. Jayme also founded the digital history website Instrumental Women which highlights the contributions of women to musical instrument making\, past and present. \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Sounds of St Cecilia’s V: The Art of the Arranger
DESCRIPTION:The critically acclaimed team of McDonald and Kitchen perform virtuoso works for recorder with continuo and obbligato harpsichord by Bach\, Vivaldi\, Telemann and Corelli\, which also exist in alternative versions. Ever commercially astute\, Telemann often specified idiomatic alternative instrumentation for his works. Arranging Italian violin sonatas for recorder was almost a cottage industry\, and Bach’s recycling of his own music resulted in masterworks such as a solo violin movement becoming a full-scale cantata. Featuring the 1709 Barton harpsichord. ‘Pure delight’ (Scotsman). In support of the FoSCH bursary fund. \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here
