Tim Kliphuis Trio and students from The City of Edinburgh Music School: The Stirling Queen

This show was a World Premiere on 04/11/19 at The Queen's Hall Edinburgh.
Imagine being married off to a Scottish king when you are 14 years old. Sailing across the sea from Denmark to be the wife of someone you hardly know. Your father gives away Shetland and the Orkney Islands as your wedding present.
‘The Stirling Queen’ tells the story of Queen Margaret’s youth, her marriage to James III and her early death at Stirling Castle. Read more here: www.thequeenshall.net/whats-o...

Commissioned by The Queen’s Hall Tim wrote The Stirling Queen for the ensemble and students at The City Edinburgh Music School at Broughton High School*.
