Tea and Tunes with Esther Swift !
Sunday March 19th at 3pm
See below for important ticket info / Pay What YOU Decide!!
A prolific, boldly innovative harpist, composer and singer, Esther works across genres as diverse as classical chamber music and free improvisation and writes for ensembles large and small.
Reminiscent of Kate Bush, Anna Meredith and Bjork, Esther Swift explores ritual, connection, isolation, and the natural world in her performance with pedal harp and voice.
She was recently commissioned by Celtic Connections, Chamber Music Scotland, Manchester Jazz festival and The Edwin Morgan trust and was selected for the Made in Scotland 2022 programme at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival with her Celtic Connections Sound Effects piece.

For this event the Craigmonie Centre is offering the option to Pay What You Decide, which means you dont have to pay until after you have seen a show! We want to encourage more people to come and see our shows more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not. Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you havent enjoyed it at all, you dont have to pay anything.
All money collected will help us to pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously. Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay!
If you have mobility issues or any special requirements please contact the venue by email in advance: Craigmoniecc@highlifehighland.com
A cafe will be running with light refreshments before the performance and during the interval - cash only.
