Music composed in Dundee in the 17th century will once again ring out in the city when Scottish historical music expert Rob MacKillop performs at the University of Dundee.
The strains of lute, cittern and guitar music will fill the Chaplaincy Centre during next Wednesday's concert, which will feature the beautiful laments and dances for the cittern composed by Merchant of Dundee Robert Edwards.
Rob, a lecturer in lutes and early guitars at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, will also perform music from the surviving Scottish lute manuscripts and 18th century wire-strung "guittar" music by Crail composer James Oswald.
Rob is a performer, recording artist, record producer, composer and writer specialising in Scottish historical and contemporary music. He has released 7 acclaimed CDs of historical Scottish music and was recently awarded the prestigious Churchill Fellowship which allowed him to study Sufi oud (correct) music in Turkey and Morocco.
The concert begins at 7.30pm on Wednesday, November 6. Tickets are £6 (£4 concession, £2 student/unemployed).
