About this Event



100 Years of Buxton Orr

Celebrate the incredible legacy of Buxton Orr at this special event at Scottish Music Centre Ltd. Join us for a memorable evening filled with music, stories, and song as we honour the life and music of this overlooked local composer!

Buxton Orr (1924-1997) was an Anglo-Scottish composer who was born and grew up Glasgow. Orr's music captures a playful yet thoughtful personality, and his song settings demonstrate his masterful word painting and interpretation of poetry. His Scottish heritage is explicit in 'Songs of a Childhood', a song-cycle of Scots children's poetry and 'Celtic Suite', his suite for strings, which The Bubblyjocks have arranged for accordion and piano duo.

FULL PROGRAMME:

The Painter’s Mistress (1974)
Text by James Elroy Flecker

Celtic Suite (1968)
Originally for string orchestra, arr. for accordion and piano

The Ballad of Mr and Mrs Discobbolos (1970)
