Information about other music events in the Highlands
MAHLER PLAYERS
The Mahler Players is a highland based ensemble founded in 2013 by Tomas Leakey. See full details on www.mahlerplayers.co.uk., where you may also book tickets.
"After three very successful concerts in May 2014 the next set of concerts will be on 17, 18 and 19 September.On the programme will be nine songs from Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn, Wagner’s sumptuously beautiful Siegfried Idyll and Schoenberg’s demanding and revolutionary Five Orchestral Pieces Op.16. We will be welcoming back baritone Douglas Nairne and are joined for the first time by mezzo-soprano Laura Kelly. Musical director Tomas Leakey will conduct.
"We are glad to return to three wonderful concert venues. The awe inspiring architecture and acoustic of Dornoch Cathedral is well known across the country. Nairn Community and Arts Centre boasts a newly built concert space, including a beautiful Steinway grand piano. Strathpeffer Pavilion, a Victorian building perfect for our ensemble and with what is widely considered the finest acoustic for orchestral music in the Highlands, will be our third venue."
