Ceol Mor - Traditional Music Big Band
Ceol Mor is the Aberdeen International Youth Festival's young
traditional big band, made up of some of the most most promising
young traditional musicians from not only Scotland, but also
from Canada and the USA.
The band perform original and innovative arrangements of traditional
Scottish songs and music as well as original work exploring
the margins between traditional music, jazz and contemporary
classical music. They have recently performed arrangements
specially commissioned from some of Scotlands leading traditional
musicians; Harris Playfair, Aidan O'Rourke, David Milligan
and Corrina Hewat, have all composed and scored unique arrangements
for Ceol Mor, which have been hugely succesful with the band
and audiences alike.
The band will have a residency position at the 2010 AIYF,
including a week of rehearsals and gigs in Aberdeen City and
Aberdeenshire.
