Patron’s Concert

Programme

Traditionally the Music in Peebles season ends with a “Patron’s choice” concert when our patron, the inernational violinist Gina MacCormack handpicks both the performers and the programme.

Past years have seen her introduce the Akela String Quartet, cellist Madelyn Kowalski, saxophonist Lewis Banks, and pianist Maurizio Arroyo Reyes, all of whom have since embarked on their own careers.

“Nordic Rhapsody” in 2024 was an evening of music from Norway, Sweden and Finland with professor of piano at the Royal College of Music Nigel Clayton, Gina’s regular duo partner.

And to end last season Gina introduced Nomad, all students of her from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, who brought a magical evening with a tale of folklore, mmyth and music intertwined in The Witching Hour.

Gina’s choice for this season will be available on the site in the coming months.
