Eastern Canada was the landing point for
many's the Scottish immigrant in the 18th
and 19th centuries. The music and culture of
the Canadian maritimes is rich with Scottish
tradition, nowhere more so than on Cape
Breton Island, home to a wellspring of
fantastic music and musicians.
Natalie MacMaster won the East Coast Music
Award for Roots/Traditional Solo Recording
of the Year for her latest album, "Yours
Truly." She has performed with artists such
as Alison Krauss, the Chieftains, Paul
Simon, and Luciano Pavarotti. Let this

The Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots
Dragoon Guards rocketed to international fame in
1971 when their recording of the American hymn
tune "Amazing Grace" became a pop hit sensation
worldwide. Since then "Amazing Grace" has
remained a piping favorite.
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Band
of the Coldstream Guards will play classic
marches, anthems, songs, and dances from each of
the countries that make up the British Isles:
Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. In the
Highland Fling, the Royal Scots dancers continue
a centuries-old tradition of masculine power and
grace. As the soldiers march and counter-march
in precise patterns, they are resplendent in
their ceremonial uniforms-kilts of Royal Stewart
tartan, scarlet tunics, and towering black hats.
They will be performing:
February 8: Jesse Hall, Columbia

February 9: Fox Theater, St. Louis

February 16: Music Hall, downtown Kansas City
