South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

Hamilton Mausoleum will host performers Duo Marier - Neil (cello) and Austin (guitar), a musical duo blending classical training with a love for genre-crossing creativity. Neil and Austin met at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, but their collaboration truly began in the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.With a mutual passion for chamber music, they create a space where cello and guitar can explore everything from classical to jazz, pop, folk, tango, and beyond.

They believe music has the power to uplift, comfort, and bring people together and their aim is always the same: to offer something warm, thoughtful, and full of heart.

The Mausoleum is cold so please wear suitable clothing.

Please arrive by 1:45pm at Low Parks Museum to be escorted to the Mausoleum.

Available to book online.

Cost: Free, but should be booked in advance
