MenCon MenCon is a radical reinterpretation of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto Op.64, wherein the solo part remains completely intact (realised by violinist Chihiro Ono), and the orchestral parts are reinterpreted and recomposed by a chamber orchestra of creative musicians from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, led by composer Neil Luck. The work is chameleonic, unrepeatable, inclusive, unpredictable, creative, brilliantly risky, and probably (possibly) exactly how Mendelssohn himself would have wanted it to be played in the 21st century! Different every time, MenCon was originally realised by Neil’s ensemble ARCO, following a similar experiment with the Beethoven Violin concerto some years earlier. It has also however, been realised by Chihiro and Neil with conservatoire students, improvising orchestras, and other new music ensembles. The piece has also been released as an album by Birmingham Record Company. For this event, Neil and Chihiro will be joined by CoMA Glasgow, an experimental collective open to players of all abilities who focus on exploring and interpreting unusual and avantgarde contemporary music scores. With monthly gatherings at Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA), the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and also online, the group welcomes musicians and sound-makers of all abilities. This includes professionals, students, amateurs, composers, instrumentalists and sound-artists so if you like what you hear, you can get involved as everybody has something to contribute!

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

today is

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because of the great weather. It takes two to three hours to walk around, and it will be faster if you walk quickly. After entering, you can use the voucher number provided by Ctrip to exchange for a paper ticket. You can rent an interpreter for 3.5 pounds and enter the corresponding number of the attraction to listen.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Immediate access

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
