Music of Two Nations: Eddie McGuire, Yi Dong & Hannah Phillips

Dong Yi and Eddie McGuire have performed together for several years.  Into their fascinating classical and traditional Chinese sound-world they will feature pieces blending Scottish clarsach into Eddie’s arrangements. Yi is renowned for performances world-wide, which include Beijing’s Great Hall of the People and London’s Cadogan Hall. Eddie is well known in the harp world as a composer – his octet Pieces of Eight (commissioned for The Clarsach Society’s 60th anniversary) is among many harp compositions. Hannah, a well established performer, premiered Eddie’s “The Poet’s Return” in 2010
