Ballet on the Braes

Available for 14 days

Kate Molleson, with Dr John Purser, follows Chisholm’s leap from opera to ballet – from the Celtic Ballet and The Forsaken Mermaid to his symphonic ballet The Earth Shapers. Against a backdrop of political upheaval and wartime austerity, we hear how Chisholm kept music alive, from painting streets with secret staves, to staging lecture-recitals for soldiers, and how his wanderlust led him towards India and beyond.
