Scottish Music Festival
Come celebrate the glory of Scotland’s music, and its influence on the Canadian
artists who have preserved and reinvented it.
Luminato' s opening-weekend festivities continue Saturday afternoon in Yonge-Dundas Square with a Scottish Music Festival to set you up for the National Theatre of Scotland' s Black Watch.
The all-star roster of performers features The Barra MacNeils, six siblings from Cape Breton Island who for 20 years have been among the most popular Celtic groups in Canada and the innovative super-trio Lau, one of the most sought-after acts on the current Scottish scene. They are joined by Winnipeg' s Sierra Noble, a phenomenally versatile young violinist who specializes in traditional Métis fiddle tunes.
The day will culminate with a Scottish square dance - and this is where you get to be TELUS Light on Your Feet - led by internationally acclaimed Nova Scotian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac.
So dinna be shy; come awa' doon!
Hosted by Max MacDonald and Joella Foulds.
