SUMMARY:The BubblyJock Collective
DESCRIPTION:St John’s Kirk is grateful for the The BubblyJock Collective’s willingness to step for this event at short notice \nFormed in 2023\, is is an ensemble dedicated to promoting and performing music by composers born or based in Scotland. \nIndividually\, they were all on our own journeys into Scotland’s rich heritage of art music – discovering repertoire\, composers\, and recordings of which they’d previously been unaware. Now\, by no means are they the first people to champion Scottish classical music\, there are many performers\, academics\, and teachers who have been working to promote this music for years.  \nAnd yet\, much of it still goes un-talked about\, un-performed\, under-appreciated.

SUMMARY:Mediaeval Treasures of Perthshire
DESCRIPTION:What do a 12th-century graffitied text now in the Vatican\, a 13th-century pewter mirror-case\, and a documentary seal alluding to James I of Scotland all have in common? They are remarkable testimonies of the cultural richness of Perthshire’s past. Discover the religious orders at Coupar Angus and Perth Charterhouse as generators of cultural identity; meet some intriguing Renaissance Perthshire book-collectors; and explore objects excavated in the environs of St John’s. \nLearn how Perthshire housed texts\, images\, and objects of national and even international significance. This talk focuses on the items and artefacts that show Perth to be culturally alert and alive with European strands of influence at a time when Scotland’s place in Europe was a live issue: exactly as it is today. \nA talk by Dr Kylie Murray
