The Scottish Flute Trio is a classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of traditional Scottish music and classical repertoire since their founding in 1995. The trio consists of three talented flutists: Ruth Morley, Laura Bailie, and Sarah Hayes. The Scottish Flute Trio was founded by Ruth Morley, who had a vision of creating a group that would showcase the beauty and versatility of the flute. She recruited Laura Bailie and Sarah Hayes, both accomplished flutists in their own right, to join her in this endeavor. Together, they began exploring the rich musical traditions of Scotland and incorporating them into their classical repertoire. One of the highlights of the Scottish Flute Trio's career was their performance at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1998. This prestigious festival is one of the largest and most respected arts festivals in the world, and the trio's performance was met with critical acclaim. They were praised for their technical skill, musicality, and the way they seamlessly blended traditional Scottish music with classical pieces. The Scottish Flute Trio has also performed at many other notable venues and events, including the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, and the Celtic Connections festival. They have collaborated with other musicians and ensembles, including the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Scottish Ensemble. In addition to their live performances, the Scottish Flute Trio has released several albums, including "The Scottish Flute Trio" and "Celtic Connections." These albums showcase the trio's unique sound and their ability to bring together different musical traditions in a way that is both innovative and respectful. The Scottish Flute Trio has received numerous awards and accolades throughout their career. In 2001, they were awarded the prestigious Creative Scotland Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the arts in Scotland. They have also been nominated for several Scottish Traditional Music Awards, including Album of the Year and Live Act of the Year. Despite their success, the Scottish Flute Trio remains committed to their roots and to the music that inspires them.
