No Bows Barred, founded by international educator and violinist Fiona McLean-Buechel and award-winning fiddler Rua Macmillan – both RCS graduates and Lecturers at RCS’s Junior Conservatoire of Music – offers free weekend workshops across Scotland that break down barriers to music-making.

The project welcomes everyone from primary school pupils to seasoned performers, creating a collaborative space rooted in both classical and traditional music where confidence, creativity and community take centre stage.

Programme will include Vivaldi Double Violin concerto in A minor, Trad tunes, including The Kilmardinny Ducks, Hunting the Haggis by Peter Martin

and Albinoni's Adagio for Strings (with a Scottish twist!)
