For centuries music played a central role in the cultures of Ireland and Scotland. And for centuries there were attempts to eradicate their music and instruments. Our program will highlight delightful selections from the Edward Bunting Collection, first published in 1796. Bunting traveled throughout Ireland to capture in written form traditional Irish music before it was lost forever. James Oswald wrote Scottish instrumental music around the same time period that emulates voices of the Scots. Entwyned will perform and describe Celtic music from Bunting and Oswald and other sources adapted to our instruments: Celtic harp, lutes, historic guitars, Baroque flutes, and Viola da Gamba.
