Performing
As a duet with his wife, Irena, Lindsay performs at classical music festivals across Europe and has also been to Venezuela. As a trio with harp and soprano (Katarzyna Wiwer-Monita) they form ‘Celtic Triangle’ and have a mixture of music from traditional, to contemporary compositions by Lindsay. He leads a traditional music group, The Reivers, comprising bagpipes, harp, violin and percussion, and again they have a mixture of traditional and new music.
A major part of Lindsay’s work is performing with ‘classical’ ensembles ranging from string quartet to orchestras. He has played with some of the most prestigious orchestras in Europe, such as Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio led by Agnieszka Duczmal, and Leopolis Chamber Orchestra of Lviv, where he was a resident soloist.
Lindsay performs on Highland Bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes and Border pipes during his concerts.

Famous quotes containing the word performing:
“Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes, you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate,—and meantime it is only puss and her tail.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And no one, it seemed, had had the presence of mind
To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel
From the number it was backing away from as it stopped:
It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“When performing an autopsy, even the most inveterate spiritualist would have to question where the soul is.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
