Juliette Lemoine and Chris Amer

Juliette performed at The Vault Arts Centre in April this year and it was such a good show that we simply had to invite her back. Juliette's debut album, Soaring, was long-listed for Scottish Album of the Year in 2023. Still looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Weekend passes on sale now!

Two exceptional and accomplished new voices on the Scottish music scene, Juliette Lemoine and Chris Amer together explore traditional Scottish music with originality, energy and depth. Since launching her SAY Award Long-listed album ‘Soaring’ with a sold-out performance at Celtic Connections 2023, cellist Juliette has continued to cement her status as a trailblazer, progressing and redefining the cello within Scottish traditional music. Chris Amer plays a unique 5-string theorbed tenor guitar and exemplifies a thoughtful, musically intelligent playing style. As a unique duo, their live performances are an immersive dialogue characterised by rich emotional colour, close interaction and vibrant spontaneity.
