Stargazers
:: a unique presentation ::
of old music and new writing on Renaissance themes


The Galloway Consort are early music specialists with 20 years' performing experience all over Scotland and the north of England. Crichton Writers are a vibrant new writing group based at the Crichton Campus (Glasgow University) in Dumfries. Together they have devised a programme of new writing in response to renaissance themes of love, war and the natural world to be accompanied by music from the 16th and 17th centuries played on appropriate instruments. Work will be read by actors from the Swallow Theatre in a candle-lit, herb scented ambience and a summer supper will follow for those who choose to stay.
