Esther Swift: The Heartstrings of Poetry

Someone once said that ‘poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them’ – Esther Swift is, quite literally, the embodiment of this sentiment. A mesmerising harpist, she has set her eclectic, celestial music to the luminous poetry of the beloved Jackie Kay, Makar of Scotland from 2016 to 2021. Come and have your life heart-burstingly affirmed.

The performance will include singers Sarah Shorter, Poppy Shots, and Rosie Lavery, and double bassist Andrew Robb.

Supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown.
