Venue: St Edwards Church

Event details: Three members of Fires of Love, a versatile and unusual combination of voices and instruments, attended CEMSS courses, and now they are one of Scotland's leading ensembles specialising in Renaissance and early Baroque music. This concert focuses on the virtuoso musician, teacher, composer, arranger, and music publisher Adrian Le Roy.

Venue: Little St. Mary's Church
Date: 3 Aug 2008 - 16:00
Event details: "The sweet resonance of the harmony which is borne of the lute touched by the divine fingers of Francesco Milanese, by making itself heard in the soul, robs the senses of those who hear it" - Francesco Marcolini, 1536.
