Composer with Millport connection!
This Sunday 4 OCTOBER, the semi-dramatised song recital, Art Sung – Erik Chisholm, tells the remarkable story of Scottish composer, performer and impresario, Erik Chisholm (1904 – 1965) through songs, piano music, dance, and Chisholm’s own words, read by an actor.
In addition, music by composers such as Béla Bartók and Kaikhosru Shapurgi Sorabji, whom he invited to perform in his concert series in Scotland in the 1930s, and fellow Scotsman, Francis George Scott are featured.

Chisholm’s fascination with Celtic music - earning him the nickname ‘MacBartok’ – was sparked at age 10 when he received “The Patrick MacDonald Collection of Highland Music”, published in 1784, during a family holiday in Millport. Chisholm’s collaboration with dancer Margaret Morris is also celebrated in a short, choreographed excerpt from the ballet, “The Forsaken Mermaid”.
The bespoke visual imagery that enriches the narrative and is projected throughout the recital takes its inspiration from the vibrant Scottish Art scene of the interwar years, as well as Scotland’s ancient Celtic heritage.
Prompt start 3pm
