A key member of City of Edinburgh Pipe Band and the creative enterpreneur behind The Pipers of Edinburgh, Leighann is also the piper-in-residence at Abbeyhill Primary School. She established the school’s own Chanter Ensemble in 2015 and has been running it since.
In re-discovering her long-standing Polish connection in the family, Leighann joined the Polski project – a two-year long Polish artists-in-residence project at Abbeyhill Primary School. Here is Leighann with the Polski co-curator Patrycja Godula of the Polish Contemporary Art Organisation but disguised as a Polonaise Dancer during the Polski project launch as part of the summery, fun-filled Carnival at Abbeyhill Primary School on 4th June 2016:
Catch up Leighann’s mighty solo performance of contemporary and traditional tunes on Sun, 18 Sept 2016, 11am at Abbeyhill Primary School and welcome our Honorary Polish artist-in-residence Monika Swydlowska. Start your 11th Colony of Artists Sunday in style before you experience the exhibition at the school and venture into the homes of the exhibiting artists at the Abbeyhill Colonies!ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Leighann Dudley’s artist-in-residency at Abbeyhill Primary School in 2015 and 2016 was in partnership with The Pipers of Edinburgh and supported by Abbeyhill Primary School and Abbeyhill Primary School Parents.
