RCS and Folkestra
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Strathclyde Suite
Please Note: This is a past event.
Ever since the Scottish Music BA was established at Glasgow’s RSAMD – now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland – in 1996, it’s been a rich source of life-blood for Celtic Connections, providing both a steady supply of excellent new artists, and an inexhaustible one of session-hungry aspirants. With many of the former having returned to teach the latter, this now-annual celebration of the UK’s first-ever folk degree promises another cornucopia of talent.
Founded and directed by Kathryn Tickell, Folkestra is the North of England’s leading youth folk band, based at the Sage in Gateshead, bringing together a diverse, dynamic array of instrumentation and material.
The group made up of players from all across the North East and Cumbria have a growing national reputation with an illustrious performance history, giving many high profiled performances such as for The Queen and Prince Philip, at the first Folk BBC Proms, and at numerous concerts and festivals across the country from Towersey to Edinburgh.
