The Scots are coming!
Celtic magic and Scottish joie de vivre - that's what the audience can experience when the "Schottische Musikparade" comes to Germany. Bagpipers, drummers, musicians, singers and dancers, all straight from Edinburgh, Scotland, take the audience on a rousing and varied journey through Scotland for an evening.
And no, the men don't wear pants here, they wear skirts - plaid and in the colors of the respective clans: Kilts belong to the Scots just like bagpipes (bagpipes) and drums (drums).
In front of a castle backdrop with towers and battlements - the imitation of a Scottish castle - the artists present ever new facets of Scottish culture. Just as the impressive sound of bagpipes and drums roared through the hall and gripped the people in the stands, the next moment soulful ballads full of longing and expanse created an intoxicating silence in the hall. The participating artists are among the best that Scotland has to offer. Most of the participants are regular performers at the world-famous Edinburgh Tattoo. The bagpipers and drummers include many international competition winners and world champions on their instruments. Even the combination of traditional bagpipe playing and modern rock music succeeds when guitarists turn up the volume with their electric guitars and the entire ensemble joins in with their traditional instruments, for example to Paul McCartney's anthem "Mull of Kintyre" and John Farnham's "You're the voice" - goosebumps are guaranteed. The cheerful and lively Scottish dances, on the other hand, exude esprit and an exuberant festive atmosphere.
The artists enter the stage in ever-changing formations, magnificent costumes and costumes and inspire each other with their immense joy in music and dance. When the Scottish anthem "Highland Cathedral" is played in the misty haze after an original canon salute and the bagpipers and drummers in their uniforms parade through the aisles close to the audience, a breath of real Highland air wafts through the hall!
