The Great Hall in Kincardine has been the
venue for a number of fabulous musical evenings over the years.
We have had to pinch ourselves when
Clio Gould came and played her
magnificent Rutson Stradivarius
(1694) with the Scottish Ensemble. How lucky can one
be.
In winter the
arrival, to the floodlit castle, and the entrance, through the
candlelit marble hall, is pure fairytale.
In summer, the
amazing view over Royal Deeside and the beautiful and tranquil
gardens complement perfectly the fine music you are about to
hear.
Once onto the
Principal Floor you can be greeted with a glass of champagne in
the Dining room before moving on to enjoy the performance. The
Great Hall has excellent acoustics and
a fantastic ambience.
With the
numbers involved it is not possible to offer a full dinner as
well as providing a concert hall. However we can cater for a
finger buffet either during an interval or after the concert is
over.
By locating the
performers at the foot of the main staircase there is the
opportunity for some theatrical action too. For the stairs gain
a little height before turning up past two arched openings
looking over the Great Hall and thence to the magnificent
musician's gallery which runs along the whole of one end of the
Hall. Truly, the only limitation is one's imagination.
Get set for a
very special evening.

The Steinway
grand piano was built in Leipzig in 1912 and is a very fine
instrument. At a recent concert the pianist said that
Rachmaninov would have killed for
it!
The Hall can seat a maximum of 80 people
on comfortable chairs |
