Ar an oíche beidh an chéadléiriú de choinséartó nua don chairdín cnaipí, pianó agus téada leis an chumadóir agus taibheoir Éireannach Ryan Molloy, ina mbeidh an cumadóir ar an phianó agus Seán Ó Graham (Beoga) ar an chairdín cnaipí. Chomh maith leis seo, seinnfear trí phíosa faoi inspioráid dhaoncheol na hAlban a choimisiúnaigh an grúpa in 2023, arna gcumadh ag Pàdruig Morrison, Pippa Murphy agus Catriona Price. Beidh na léirithe ceangailte le chéile le hidircheol daoncheoil, arna sheinm ag ceoltóirí ar an stáitse.
Is é atá in Thirteen North buíon téad triúr déag atá lonnaithe in Albain, a bhunaigh na veidhleadóirí agus na comhstiúrthóirí ealaíonta Emily Davis agus Catriona Price in 2022 mar bhealach leis an cheol chlasaiceach a chur i láthair lucht féachana nua sa 21ú haois, ag cur san áireamh íogaireachtaí agus tionchair ó shaol daoncheoil thraidisiúnta na hAlban. Fiosraíonn an grúpa bealaí nua leis an cheol chlasaiceach a sheachadadh do lucht féachana nua, ag seinm in áiteanna neamhghnácha agus ag díriú ar chumarsáid le lucht féachana agus ag ceiliúradh comhoibriú idir seánraí, cultúr agus foirmeacha ealaíne.
