Many thanks to McOpera, Sequoia and A4 Brass Quartet for taking live music into several schools in Perthshire during November and December. This was run under the Perth Chamber Music Workshop Programme and made possible thanks to the donations of PCM’s own members, the grants of several local trusts and businesses and contributions from the PKC Education Department and from Creative Scotland through Chamber Music Scotland.

The 10 half day workshops took place in 9 primary schools and the regional school for children with complex needs. They reached an estimated total of 1,085 children through a mix of class or year group sessions or whole school performances
The three events in West Perthshire were run in partnership with Strathearn Music Society.

In two weeks time I’ll be performing in Perth, Comrie! Chris Grace puts on the most amazing nights and I feel so happy to be with them all again. Despite the poster, not sure how much banjo I’ll be slinging, but I’ve got two big warm pockets full of songs I’m delighted to share. Dr. Dirk will be in tow and it’ll be our last time to play together in weeks as I’m leaving on a very exciting trip the day after… announcement coming soon! Anyway, if you know anyone up the way, geez a holla 😃I would love to have your friend of friends in the house!
