"Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (***** Binge Fringe Magazine)

"Matthew Shiel shone" (**** Three Weeks)

Sink into your seat and relax as award-winning pianist Matthew Shiel performs Beethoven's most popular, passionate, emotionally raw and technically demanding piano sonatas including his 'Grande Sonata Pathétique' and 'Moonlight' Sonatas - performed by atmospheric candlelight in our special candlelit chapel.

Tonight, this magnificent and historic 19th Century chapel is transformed by moonlight and candlelight into a place of inspiration as we celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the greatest musicians of all time and pay tribute to a true musical icon! Our programme is rounded off with Beethoven's nod to Scotland - it might surprise you Beethoven enjoyed composing Highland dances!
