Highland Heartbeat

Episode 1 of 1

Singer/actress Fiona Kennedy, a member of Scotland's leading theatrical family and well-known in North America as the host of "Tartan TV," leads a group of singers brought together from a country-wide audition to represent a range of musical styles. Singers Jim Malcolm, Jillian Isbister, Maureen McMullan, Daisy Chute and Darren Maclean perform at the historic Theatre Royal in Glasgow backed by the Scottish Festival Orchestra. The men wear the traditional Scottish kilt, and the women wear modern designs that riff on traditional Scottish themes. Emmy Award-winning Scottish actor Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy) reads the works of Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns, with stunning footage of Scotland interspersed between songs. The concert was shot in high definition in August 2008.
