Sounds of St Cecilia's II: Conversations, Baroque, Blue and Beyond

Edinburgh 2026

In Conversations: Baroque, Blue and Beyond, duo Hilary Michael (violin/sax) and Richard Michael (piano) present a unique, thoughtful and inspirational dialogue between musical eras. Whilst remaining faithful to the authentic styles of different genres they shine a light on what unities, rather than separates, the geniuses of the likes of JS Bach and Duke Ellington. At the heart of the show lies the art of improvisation, where the duo engages in real-time musical conversations inviting the audience to be part of the creative process.
