Events

Chopin's Scotland

24 October
7:30pm
Free, but tickets to be pre-booked

Chopin’s Scotland, as part of the Jane Stirling Project, is a tribute to Frédéric Chopin’s pupil and friend. It tells the story of the Great Romantic and the Dunblane-born Jane Stirling – the story that began in Scotland in 1848 and has rested dormant ever since, for nearly two centuries.

During the event, you will have an opportunity to listen to a variety of Chopin's compositions performed by the inimitable Anna DÄ™bowska. Combined with readings from Chopin's letters, they offer a musical voyage in time back to 1848, when Caledonian soil hosted the dying Chopin, impoverished by his declining lot, enriched by numerous tokens of hospitality and genuine friendship. Contextualized by Marcin Jaroszek's narration, Chopin’s Scotland spins a story of love, devotion, disillusionment and unconditional respect for this somewhat whimsical Romantic genius. It tells the story of Jane Wilhelmina Stirling, who gave so much and received so little in return. It tells a story that has so undeservedly fallen into oblivion – a story that will now unfold... 

Entry is free, but tickets should be pre-booked via the online box office.
