Young Musicians To Perform At Eden Court

Around 250 Highland musicians will be appearing on stage at Eden Court’s Empire Theatre on Monday 17th November.

Highland Futures, a showcase of music from twelve Highland secondary schools and Inverness primaries, will entertain audiences during an evening performance.

This event is an ideal opportunity for musicians from all over Highland to collaborate and the programme will feature performances from Kinlochleven; Gairloch; Ullapool; Farr; Ardnamurchan High Schools, Tain; Invergordon; Fortrose; Culloden Academies, Grantown Grammar School  and Inverness Junior Strings Orchestra.

Tickets can be booked by contacting Eden Court box office on 01463 234234.
Once again, the evenings programme will provide a real mixture of styles demonstrating the diversity and quality of music-making which takes place in our schools.

The evening will be compered by John Somerville and Michael Bryan.  Both these young musicians currently play with Box club and are busy, accomplished musicians in the current traditional music scene.  They have both been involved with the Highland Futures format (in its previous guise as Rhythms of the North and will, no doubt, be persuaded to squeeze a tune into the links between acts at some point!
