There are four quartets in this year's Festival, and the most unusual must be Huun Huur Tu. They hail from the Steppes of Central Asia and play and sing using an ancient technique which involves overtone singing. In this way a single singer can sound several notes simultaneously often at extremes of the vocal range. It is a thrilling sound and we have two very different events by them or you to enjoy.

On Friday night they are giving a straight concert (paired with Sheila Chandra) then on Saturday afternoon they join the Orlando Consort in the weird and atmospheric setting of a Hardened Aircraft Shelter on RAF Leuchars. This building was constructed during the Cold War to protect jets and manages to combine the modern brutality of a defensive concrete structure with the acoustic of a medieval cathedral. It's going to sound wild.
