St Cecilia’s Hall Poetry Event, 13th November 2023:

Join us for an unforgettable night of music, poetry and literary history as we remember the legacy of famous author, Robert Louis Stevenson, in Scottish, Hawaiian, and Sāmoan performance cultures. As part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council project, ‘Remediating Stevenson: Decolonising Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pacific Fiction through Graphic Adaptation, Arts Education and Community Engagement’, renowned Polynesian poets Selina Tusitala Marsh, Sina Sinavaiana and Keao NeSmith will be performing works inspired by Stevenson’s Pacific writing for the very first time. They will be accompanied by esteemed flageolet expert and music historian, Douglas Macmillan, performing the unique pieces Stevenson composed in the South Pacific upon his emigration there towards the end of his life. Commentary on Stevenson’s relationship to Sāmoa and its musical heritage will be provided by Professor Emma Sutton (University of St Andrews), as well as the ‘Remediating Stevenson’ research team, who are excited to welcome you to this landmark event.
