Seonaid Aitken: Chasing Sakura

Beautiful, beguiling and evocative music blending jazz, classical and folk, all delivered by leading Scottish violinist and vocalist Seonaid Aitken and her handpicked ensemble of Katrina Lee (violin), Patsy Reid (viola), Alice Allen (cello), Emma Smith (double bass) and Helena Kay (tenor Saxophone & flute). Originally commissioned by EJBF as part of our 2021 online festival, the project has also headlined Celtic Connections and released a critically acclaimed album, which has just been longlisted for the SAY Awards.  

Completing the evening, Seonaid also explores the Great American Songbook with selections from her 2019 album ‘What Is This Thing Called Love?’.
