Cottier Theatre, Glasgow - Admission free but donations welcome

Daniel's Beard (named after Daniel Cottier's hirsute appearance!) will preform for the second time. Throughout the West End Festival Four Acres Charitable Trust are opening the doors of the Cottier Theatre so that the public get to see the restored stained glass. Daniel's Beard, the newly formed chamber music ensemble, will give two promotional performances in the church on the 12th and 14th June. This second performance will explore the musical heritage of Glasgow's West End by playing pieces of composers such as Thomas Wilson, Eddie McGuire, John Maxwell-Geddes and Bill Sweeney who have lived and worked there. It will also feature the winners of the first WEF Composition Competition!
