JKL Duo – The International Poet

• Events Home

The JKL Duo met in 2015 when Jacopo came from Rome to Glasgow to complete an Erasmus year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Since then, their musical partnership has taken them to concert halls and recital spaces around Scotland. They bring to Aboyne their imaginative and creative program, ‘The International Poet’, featuring new music composed especially for them during lockdown, based on some of the most celebrated works of Robert Burns. They have imagined what Burns could have created, were he alive today, in a world where physical distance is no longer the obstacle it once was to communication, collaboration and creation. The traditional tunes are still recognisable, but all with an international twist:
Breton Fantasy on Ye Jacobites – by Laura Snowden
The Lea Rig – by Stevie Lawrence
The Deil’s Awa wi’ the Exciseman & Ye Banks and Braes O’ Bonny Doon – by Savourna Stevenson
John Anderson, My Jo – by Amit Anand
The Betrayed Melody (after Robert Burns) – by Francesco Leineri
My Love is Like a Red Red Rose – by Stevie Lawrence
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad? – Fantasia on a Theme by Robert Burns by Vasily Antipov
Auld Lang Syne Samba – by Celso Machado
Ae Fond Kiss – by Roberto Kuhn Versluys


This performance is brought to you in association with Scotland on Tour.
