St Mary’s, Great Western Road, Glasgow.

Dr Elaine Moohan, Senior Lecturer in Music and Staff Tutor of the Open University in Scotland, has been working on an edition of music by 16th-century Scottish composer Robert Johnson.  The music is going to be published by Musica Scotica.

Before that, however, Elaine has arranged a pre-publication performance of some works by Robert Johnson on Wednesday 4^th April, at St Mary’s on Great Western Road. She will give a short (about 30 mins) pre-concert talk at 6.30pm with the concert starting at 7.30pm.

Performers from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland will delight you with a programme that includes 12 works by Johnson (about 35 mins) and the remainder of the programme will consist of works by near contemporaries. The ensemble is made up of 10 singers, with the possibility of an instrumentalist as well.
