The Wighton Residency (2003-2006)

The Wighton Residency was brought to completion in August 2006. An innovative programme of performance, research and participative event work, the Residency was designed to unfold one of Scotland's most important historic music collections - the internationally prized Wighton Collection of early printed and manuscript music.

Directed by Historical Musician in Residence, Dr Sally Garden (mezzo-soprano and musicologist), and conjointly supported by the local authorities, Angus Council, Fife Council and Dundee City Council, the Residency had a 3-year term and was based at the Wighton Heritage Centre, Dundee.

This archive website records the work of the Residency.
