CORNAMUSA brings Scottish bagpipe music and Irish dance together in a stage show that has been touring Europe for more than a decade. The new production, The Whisper of the Stones, takes the audience through the history and traditions of Scotland and Ireland, following a mysterious Celtic stone that carries the voices of earlier generations.
A seven-piece live band and an international dance ensemble bring the story to life. The musicians do more than accompany the action: they take on roles and become part of the tale alongside the dancers. Ballads, traditional tunes, multi-part singing and driving drums meet the energy of Irish dance, with video projections and live close-ups on screen for the back rows.
The ensemble is led by three-time European champion Gyula Glaser, who has performed on international stages including Off-Broadway in New York, and dancer Nicole Ohnesorge, who placed third at the world championships.
