Christopher Lee Guild
An evening of classical and contemporary piano music performed by a talented young Scottish pianist. As well as some familiar and some less well-known 19th and 20th century French and English music, Christopher will perform new work by Robert Fields, a composer whom we welcome as a new Caithness resident.
Christopher Lee Guild was born in Morayshire, and in recent times has been hailed as one of Scotland’s most promising young talents. He began his musical education aged 7 and entered St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh 6 years later.
