Aisling Agnew performing ‘Night in the Forest’ by the Greek composer Nickos Harizanos.
The video is shot in The Kibble Palace situated in Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens.
Aisling was born and raised in Belfast and is now based in Glasgow. She regularly performs around the UK and Ireland and has appeared in concert across Europe, North & South America and Asia. Her performances have been broadcast on BBC Radio and RTE Lyric FM and include many high profile concerts such as a Wigmore Hall chamber music recital and the British Flute Society’s Seventh International Flute Convention in Manchester. As Concerto Soloist she has appeared with various orchestras including the Ulster Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In 2006 she released her acclaimed debut album Recital with Natural Studio Records and has continued this affiliation with the release of two further chamber music recordings Histoire du Tango and Standing Stones.
Flautist Aisling Agnew and classical guitarist Matthew McAllister met in Glasgow whilst studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Their joint passion for chamber music, interacting with composers and performing new music immediately brought them together. Their debut album, Recital, features a wide range of virtuosic and beautiful music from around the globe.
Recorded at Colinsburgh Parish Church, 22nd – 25th July 2006.

Irish flautist & Research Ensemble Player Aisling Agnew performing ‘The Kestrel Paced Round the Sun’ by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. This work for solo flute constitutes a further celebration of the Orcadian landscape which inspired the poem ‘Peat Cutting by George Mackay Brown. It was written between movements of the large-scale Symphony no.1 whose material it shares.
The first performance was given by Judith Pearce, to whom it is dedicated, at a BBC Radio 3 Invitation Concert at the University of Surrey, Guildford in 1976.
The piece consists of 3 contrasting movements, each preceded by a 3-note Recitando.
This performance was part of the Concert & Lecture series ‘Notes from Scotland: Celebrating Maxwell Davies and MacMillan’ which took place in Edinburgh at Greyfriars Kirk & The National Museum of Scotland on the 6th December 2009.
‘Notes from Scotland’ was produced by Napier University in association with The Research Ensemble & Edinburgh Quartet.
