Daniel’s Beard
Complete Nonsense and The Lady of Shalott, Daniel’s Beard
A flexible and adventurous chamber ensemble, Daniel’s Beard have established a reputation for hosting festivals and creating new programmes.
This, their signature family show, combines their hugely popular Jabberwocky, The Owl and the Pussycat and Stomp Like a Dinosaur with a new setting of The Lady of Shalott, by Lenny Sayers. This classic poem has all the ingredients of a blockbuster feature film -
a damsel in distress, a handsome knight in shining armour, thrilling action and dark undertones... Dancers from High Heart Dance Company join the musicians for this Made in Scotland supported performance.

Having burst into life during Glasgow’s West End Festival in 2010, Daniel’s Beard have swiftly established themselves as one of Scotland’s busiest chamber ensembles. Made up of players who are familiar faces in all of Scotland’s orchestras, the group have a close link to Cottier’s Theatre, where they are also the driving force behind The Cottier Chamber Project. Named after the impressive facial hair of Daniel Cottier, the pioneering 19th century designer responsible for the interior of the theatre, the group has built up a reputation for tackling the major works of the chamber music repertoire alongside pieces that are less frequently heard, encompassing music from the baroque period up to the present day.
