Sealladh, the new album from singer, harpist and composer Rachel Newton, began as a commission for the National Galleries of Scotland, celebrating over eighty years of live music programming at the Gallery. The commission also coincided with the opening of the new Scottish Galleries, home to the vast collection of artworks by Scottish painters, a selection of which both inspired and are in conversation with Newton鈥檚 music. Each track on the album is based on a particular painting and draws on the mythology, language, history, culture and landscapes that originally set the scene for these artworks. Rachel joins Anna live on the eve of the album release.

Plus we celebrate some of Scotland's up and coming talent with a session from students of The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland鈥檚 Traditional Music course - one of few Bachelor of Music degrees dedicated to traditional and folk music. The students share the music they've been working on ahead of their Recital Festival - the culmination of years of study by these emerging professionals.
