Edinburgh Highland Reel & Strathspey Society

The Edinburgh Highland Reel & Strathspey Society (EHRSS) is delighted to be returning to The Queen's Hall again to present another varied programme of traditional Scottish fiddle music. 

The concert will feature the orchestra under the baton of well known Scottish fiddle player Yla Steven BEM who last year was entered into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. They will be playing a selection of marches, strathspeys, reels, jigs and hauntingly beautiful slow airs.

In addition, EHRSS welcomes back the wonderful singer Christopher Haggerty to sing with the orchestra. He has a beautiful tenor voice singing Scottish songs in a glorious way.

Our piper, Alexander Sime-Scott, will start the concert off in the traditional manner with his expert skill on the bagpipes.

This year we will also have the junior choir Blackhall St. Columba's Singers who will also be singing beautiful Sottish songs

Founded in 1881, EHRSS was the first society ever, set up to preserve and promote the traditional style of Scottish fiddle playing. Its members are proud to continue the tradition in the 21st century. Throughout the year they perform in various venues around the country. There is always a St. Andrew's Night concert, several conference, ceilidh and community events as well as their Annual Concert here in the Queen's Hall.
