About this Event
Mary Ann Kennedy is composer of 'Cluaidh (Clyde - A River Recovery). She was voted Gaelic singer of the year at the 2019 Scots Trad Music Awards and earned a Saltire Award for her choral project, 'Lasair Dhè'. Mary Ann describes music as ‘the carrying stream, and that stream takes different twists and turns according to each generation passing on to the next. A river never stops still. It gathers strength, it gathers from other sources as other little tributaries come in and join it, and so it’s constantly changing.’
