Music in Thurso - Fourth Concert Season

10th September 2018

Thursday 20th September 2018 sees the opening of the fourth concert season of Music in Thurso, which sees world class musicians coming to Caithness to perform. Set up following the closure of Thurso Live Music Association, Music in Thurso aims to host a wide variety of classical music concerts to appeal to audiences of all ages. Concerts are held throughout the autumn and winter and are always in the same venue - Thurso West Church, starting at 19:30.

The fourth season is delighted to host seven concerts over the autumn and winter months, an increase on the usual six. The price of an adult season ticket is excellent value at £55, working out a saving of £15 off the door price. Adult tickets on the door have been reduced to £10 this year to encourage as many people as possible to attend. Other ticket prices remain unchanged with under 16s free, while students (over 16) £3.

The opening concert features Robert Irvine and Allan Neave (September), a Cello & Guitar duo playing works by Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky & de Falla. Other artists booked include: The Maxwell String Quartet (October); All Sorts Vocal Quartet (November); The Korça Ensemble (December); Baba Yaga (January); Sinopia String Quartet (February); and The Edinburgh Piano Duo paying us a return visit in March, following a fantastic concert in our second season. The full programme of concerts is available on our

and on our website - http://www.musicinthurso.com/index.asp

We are encouraged that so many people attend the concerts faithfully, but equally, would be delighted to welcome new faces.

The concerts allow local people a chance to experience live, classical music, played by professional musicians from all over the world. They provide an enjoyable few hours of escapism and are welcoming and friendly. They are open to all ages - we do have children who regularly attend and are already becoming big fans of classical music!

How wonderful it would be to see the numbers grow and to know that Music in Thurso will be able to continue for future generations to come.
