Presented by NI Opera. Come and explore how Ulster-Scots song has changed over time: from folk song evolving into classical art song to folk song influences in contemporary song.

This lunchtime concert will be performed by mezzo soprano Carolyn Dobbin and pianist Tristan Russcher, who will lead you on a path through the evolutions of Ulster-Scots song across an hour of beautiful song and fascinating musical insights.

This event is part of Ards & North Down Borough Council's Leid and Lairn Festival, celebrating Ulster-Scots language and heritage.
