Concerto Caledonia is Scotland’s early music group, bringing to life the classical and traditional music of the nations history. The group’s ten CD recordings include Robert Burns songs in their original versions, classical symphonies from Fife, early Scots fiddle music, and the unique sound of 18th-century Scottish-Italian crossover. Its contemporary recordings include music by Frank Zappa, Astor Piazzolla, Daniel Johnston and The Buzzcocks. The album Mungrel Stuff was a Sunday Times Record of the Year, and besides appearing regularly on BBC Radio 3, the group has also been broadcast on Radios 1, 2, and 4. Recent live collaborations at the Edinburgh International Festival have included the story of Orpheus with extreme cabaret trio The Tiger Lillies, a programme which the group have since toured to Denmark and France; four concerts of historical Scottish music with guests including James Gilchrist, Martin Carthy and Katharine Fuge, which formed the basis of the live CD Late Night Sessions; and an exploration of the music of the 17th century Scottish mercernary Tobias Hume, to be released in 2014. Revenge of the Folksingers, a 2010 project and recording bringing together traditional and early music at an Aldeburgh Residency, will be followed in 2013 by Purcells Revenge, and the groups next release will be an album devoted to fiddler-composer Robert Mackintosh.
