Celtic and Scottish Studies Seminar Series: Emma Holmes Mackinnon

About the event

With a focus on horns and trumpets, Dr Mackinnon will discuss how instruments and their sounds are represented in a variety of early medieval Gaelic texts, and how these can help us understand perceptions of music in the Gaelic societies of the period, including contemporary performance practice and symbolic significance.

How to attend

Joining a seminar is free, and everyone is welcome. No booking is required.

All seminars take place online fortnightly on Fridays from 13.00 to 14.00. Please contact Dr Neill Martin to be added to the mailing list for an invitation, link and passcode.
