Music Collaboration During 2008

Dunkeld & Birnam Live Arts (dabla) is collaborating with Music in Blair Atholl (MIBA) during this performance season. 

MIBA no longer has the use of its concert venue at Strathgarry and dabla is delighted that it has decided to hold its July Chamber Music Festival in Dunkeld Cathedral.

The Programme

Thursday 3 to Saturday 5 July: MIBA Chamber Music Festival.  A feast of chamber music performed by soloists from the English Chamber Orchestra, directed by Simon Wynberg (guitar).

Sunday 7 September: Organ Centenary Concert.  Dunkeld Cathedral’s fine Bevington organ was installed in 1908.

To celebrate its centenary dabla is bringing together two celebrated Scottish virtuosi, John Kitchen (organ) and John Wallace (trumpet).  They will be joined by brass players from RSAMD, of which John Wallace is Principal.

Tuesday 9 December: RSAMD Christmas Concert.  Now an established favourite in the dabla programme.  Further details later in the year.

All concerts will take place in Dunkeld Cathedral, starting at 7.30pm. Admission to the dabla concerts (September, December) will be by programme, £10 at the door.

Ticket information and programme details for the MIBA Chamber Music Concerts in July will be published later.
