Despite hold-ups throughout lockdown, this multi award-winning flute/piano duo, who were recipients of a Tunnell Trust Award in 2019, are now finally able to perform in Inverurie as part of a Scottish Tour.

In line with an ongoing drive for inclusion, the Inverurie Music charity is offering free tickets and subscriptions to young people under 25 and in full-time education; and to those receiving disability or low-income benefits.

The educational work undertaken at Inverurie Music includes two strands, the first being a series of Workshops and Masterclasses.

The programme, led both by the international artists presenting the recitals and by local professional musicians, is aimed at amateur and semi-professional musicians wishing to improve and enhance their playing experience.

The other dimension is the Inverurie Music Award which is currently open for applications by pupils from the four Don-side academies (Alford, Inverurie, Kemnay and Meldrum).

Pupils can apply for funding help with purchasing sheet music, lessons, instruments, exam fees, etc.
