Whats On: during the month (Continued)
on and around the distant Danish island of Bornholm at the end of WW2. While the rest of Denmark celebrated its liberation from the Germans, Bornholm was being bombed and invaded by the Russians and was surrounded by blood-red seas. For its first performance in Bornholm in 2006 the work was performed by local people and is scored for 3 soloists, choir, organ and percussion. There are citations from Danish and Russian folk music and the cantata concludes with a fervent anti-war Norwegian poem. The Russian hymn for the dead - Kontakion- is at the heart of the work, framed by tolling bells. The performance in the Cathedral on Remembrance Sunday will be the cantata’s first performance in English. The choir will be accompanied by Belinda Evans (soprano), Edward Woodhouse (tenor) and Matthew Beetschen (organ) along with soloists on the oboe, tubular bells, snare drum, timpani and piano. Tickets £15 (£12 concessions) are available from Smallprint in Dunblane, Allan,
Strathallan Pharmacy in Bridge of from any choir member or may be ordered via the choir’s website

Distilleries at Kennetpans and Kilbagie’ Dr Kirsty McAllister Cultural Heritage Officer, The Inner Forth Landscape Initiative.

With strong links to the Haigs, the Steins combined agriculture with distilling and made use of innovative technology to form one of the most successful - if relatively short lived - early commercial distilling enterprises in Scotland. Why then did this all come crashing down in 1786? Visitors are very welcome at our meetings. Admission charge £1.50 which includes tea or coffee and biscuits.
