I’m joining the wonderful Evergreen Ensemble for a program exploring the some Scottish music surrounding the infamous 18th C castrato Giusto Tenducci. Giusto Tenducci was the equivalent of an 18th-century rock star. He arrived in Edinburgh in 1766 with a thick Italian accent, his handsome looks and charms, a 15-year-old wife and the voice that had earned him a ‘seven-figure salary’ in London. A revered castrato, he inspired Scottish audiences with his virtuosity and wooed them with his tasteful performances of their own airs. Featuring music by Beethoven, J. C. Bach (the London one!), and some pieces by Tenducci himself.
