Scottish Music Parade

Description

Celtic magic and Scottish joie de vivre - that's what the audience can experience when the "Scottish Music Parade" comes to Germany. Bagpipers, drummers, musicians, singers, and dancers, all directly from Edinburgh, Scotland, take the audience on an exciting and diverse journey through Scotland for an evening.
And no, the men here are not wearing trousers, they wear kilts – tartan and in the colors of the respective clans: Kilts are as much a part of the Scots as bagpipes and drums. In front of a castle-like backdrop with towers and battlements - mimicking a Scottish castle - the artists always present new facets of Scottish culture. Just moments ago, the impressive sound of bagpipes and drums filled the hall and captivated the audience, and in the next moment, heartfelt ballads full of longing and vastness created a mesmerizing silence in the room. The participating artists are among the best Scotland has to offer. Most of the participants regularly perform at the world-famous Edinburgh Tattoo. Many of the bagpipers and drummers are winners of international competitions and world champions on their instruments. Even the combination of traditional bagpipe playing and modern rock music works when guitarists crank up their E-guitars and the entire ensemble, with its traditional instruments, gradually joins in, for example, to Paul McCartney's anthem "Mull of Kintyre" and John Farnham's "You’re the voice" - then goosebumps are guaranteed. The lively and exuberant dance performances from Scotland exude joy and festive spirit. In ever-changing formations, splendid costumes, and outfits, the artists enter the stage and energize each other with their immense love for music and dance. When, then, amidst fog and after an original cannon salvo, the Scottish anthem "Highland Cathedral" sounds and the bagpipers and drummers in their uniforms pass close to the audience through the aisles, a breath of real Highland air blows through the hall!
