Kenny plays carnyx in Edinburgh
Posted by David Read.
Tomorrow sees John Kenny perform a lunchtime concert at Edinburgh University. Entitled ‘The Mouthpiece of the Gods’, John will perform on the world’s only Celtic war horn, the carynx. Tracing the roots of brass instruments back 1000’s of years, John’s lecture-recitals on this subject have included demonstrations of instruments from all over the ancient world including didgeridoo, Polynesian conch horn, bronze age Irish horns, the carnyx, Tibetan trumpet and Alphorn.
He is then off to South Germany for a week of recitals with pianist Paul Flush and poet Grantly Marshall.
