On Wednesday 12 August 2026, St Cecilia’s Hall in Edinburgh will host a unique recital at 3pm titled "Sounds of St Cecilia’s I: The Forgotten Baroque Traditions: A Self-Portrait of a 21st Century Artist". Performed by Kenneth Yeung, this intimate event promises an autobiographical exploration of early music and personal memory, presented on two antique keyboards. The programme artfully blends historical repertoire with contemporary reflection. Audiences can anticipate hearing works by masters such as Cabezon, Frescobaldi, Froberger, Pasquini, alongside a specially compiled 17th-century French suite and a powerful toccata by Bach. A particularly poignant element will be the premiere of a new tombeau, an elegy composed in response to the tragic Tai Po fire in Hong Kong. This new work serves as a profound link between historical musical traditions and the urgent resonance of present-day events. Tickets for this thought-provoking afternoon are available from £5 to £15.
