Scottish Ensemble: Concerts for a Summer’s Night

About Scottish Ensemble: Concerts for a Summer’s Night

Our annual summer concerts bring vibrant music to open, light-filled venues across Scotland.

In 2025 we are joined by singer and composer Héloïse Werner – “a soprano of extraordinary range, tone and vocal abilities, possessing a seemingly inexhaustible expressive range” (Gramophone).

Héloïse’s vocals and our musicians’ playing will meld to create a bright and vivid sound world that will take listeners on an odyssey through beautifully evocative arrangements of Baroque songs to Héloïse’s own dramatic and playful works.

A 75 minute performance to include…
music by Barbara Strozzi, Julie Pinel, Errollyn Wallen and Héloïse Werner
