Violin In The Sand

A 3-D anamorphic drawing of a giant violin has taken shape on Elie beach to celebrate the annual East Neuk Festival.

It was created by the Sand in Your Eye team in honour of a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin loaned to the Festival this year, and to reflect the Festival programme of chamber music performed this coming week in churches and venues.   

The work of art is a limited edition in every sense of the word as it will exist for only a few hours until the tides rolled in and washes it away. 

The first concert is tonight in Dunino Church; celebrated violinist Hugo Ticciati improvising on, and playing solo violin music by JS Bach.  The Festival programme unfolds across the week with music from Bartok and Beethoven to Mendelssohn and Mozart, through to a grand finale world premiere performance of a new work by American composer John Luther Adams on 5 July featuring 32 horn players.
