Bha oidhche air leth againn! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Plockton, or tuned in online, for our annual Christmas Concert last night. It’s always a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase some of the music we’ve been working on over the last few months 🎶
It was a real treat to have the Fergus McCreadie trio in Plockton last night - here’s a wee snippet of the performance.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in person and online last night for our Christmas Concert 2022! Here’s a wee clip of the final performance of the night, featuring all the students in the music school 🎶
As we approach the end of the term and 2021-22 academic year, we would like to say a massive THANK YOU for all of your ongoing support over what has been another very challenging year. A massive thank you must also go to our tutors and hostel staff for everything that they do - a list too long to write here! It was fantastic to be able to welcome back a live audience to the summer concert, which also marked the final performance for our school leavers. We wish them all the very best as they move on to their next steps. After the summer holidays, we’ll be welcoming new students into the Music School and current students will progress to their next year of studies. We’re hoping that there will be an increase in live performances with audiences after so many years of it being missed! Wishing you all the very best for the summer period, and we look forward to seeing you again in August. Mòran, mòran taing airson ur taic agus chì sinn sibh a dh'aithghearr! The students and staff of Plockton Music School.
We re-open for term 2019/20 on Tuesday 20th August.
