StAnza 2011 is celebrating the centenary of the great Scottish poet Sorley MacLean (Somhairle MacGill-Eain). To mark this occasion soloists from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra join the St Andrews University Chamber Orchestra in a concert featuring winning compositions from young composers of new settings for Sorley MacLean poems, together with a reading of the poems in their original Gaelic by this year’s Poet In Residence. Supporting music in this poetry focused event will include other verse settings by Sally Beamish. Tha an tachartas seo na phàirt de fhòcas Gàidhlig na bliadhna sa.
