The Hebrides Ensemble pays tribute to Peter Maxwell Davies at the 2016 St Magnus Festival.

For the fortieth anniversary of the St Magnus Festival, members of the Hebrides Ensemble perform music by Maxwell Davies, Gourlay, Messiaen and Debussy.

The Hebrides Ensemble pay tribute to Sir Peter Maxwell Davies at the 40th anniversary of the St Magnus Festival. It features some of Max's clever reworkings of renaissance music paired with the piano trio he wrote based on a trip to the Fair Isle, north of Orkney. The concert also includes a new work by John Gourlay, an alumnus of the composers course, a nod to Shakespeare in Adès's Court studies from his full-scale opera The Tempest and works by Messiaen and Debussy.
