In collaboration with UoA Special Collections, innovative early music ensemble Scots Baroque present a programme based around the life of the poet, philosopher, amateur musician and professor at the university, James Beattie (1735-1803).
The concert will feature the first modern performance on Beattie's very own cello. Held by UoA special collections, and newly restored to playing condition, the insturment was made by Aberdeen luthier Robert Duncan in 1736, and is likely the oldest surviving British cello. This programme brings together music Beattie would have known and played in the 18th century, from Scots airs to Italian sonatas.
