The Show Music
In the enchanting realm of Highland Echoes, the echoes of Scotland's rich heritage come alive through the evocative notes and rhythms of a remarkable soundtrack. Crafted by the brilliant minds of Jennifer Licko, the illustrious winner of the 2014 Celtic Album of the Year, and Patrick Mangan, former musical director and fiddle virtuoso of Riverdance for over a decade, this musical masterpiece weaves a captivating tale that transcends time and borders.
The production and arrangement of the soundtrack were entrusted to the seasoned British producer and keyboard maestro, Bob Noble. Adding his expertise to the mix, the acclaimed Mike Paxman took charge of the mixing and mastering, ensuring that every melody and harmony resonated with impeccable clarity. Mangan, drawing from his invaluable experience with Riverdance, flawlessly recorded the fiddle parts, infusing the soundtrack with his unparalleled artistry. Accompanying this symphony of sounds, Cassandra Calo, a master piper, bestowed her ethereal notes upon the music, while the enchanting voice of Jennifer Licko breathed life into the heartfelt lyrics.
The heartbeat of Highland Echoes pulses through the expert drumming and percussive rhythms created by the immensely talented Daniel Gohn, an esteemed international percussionist and drummer hailing from Brazil. With his vast knowledge and skill, honed through his role as a revered teacher at The University of Sao Carlos, Gohn brings a dynamic energy to the soundtrack, elevating the music to new heights.

Excellent show, well choreographed. The narrative was excellent as it gave the historical account of the journey of the Scots. Music, song and dance were high caliber. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.
