North Highland Connections - William Shakespeare Season

31st May 2009

North Highland Connections is proud to offer a rare opportunity to see two of Shakespeare's greatest plays in performance at Ullapool. The performances are a direct result of the formal partnership which we have with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama, and we intend to offer many more manifestations of this partnership in the
future months and years.

Theatre presentations have featured strongly in our programme this year; this will be the third theatre tour we have promoted since March, and there is much more to come! Plans are also in place for further residencies by musicians from RSAMD, as well as more performances in our 'Young Artistes' series. We are also supporting the
'Connections' programme at Ullapool in August, and planning to sponsor the Iain Dall Young Pipers Competition at Gairloch, in September. Another major event planned for the autumn is a week-long Creative Music Week, when six conservatoire-level young composers will be joined by six high school students from Highland schools, working with three noted composers, and a professional instrumental ensemble. More news of all these events will be sent to you as plans become firm.

Venue: The Macphail Centre, Mill Street, Ullapool.
Tickets:�7.00 Concessions �5.00 Schools Discount Available. Tickets available from
