Fort George outreach event

Piano and Violin
Thursday 18th July, 2019 at 7:30pm

Please note this extra event is at Fort George Garrison Chapel, NOT Nairn Community & Arts Centre!

This is our first outreach event and is additional to our published programme for the 2019/20 season. Entry is payable at the door.

Special arrangements for travel will be available; all details will be mailed to Music Nairn members and email subscribers on 7 July. Seats in the special minibus service from Nairn and Forres can be booked with Nairn Community & Arts Centre - once the minibuses are there they will run a shuttle service between the Fort George car park and the chapel (it's quite a long walk from the car park!)

Chamber Music at Fort George Chapel

This first concert in the Outreach Programme will be a piano and violin recital in the wonderful Chapel at Fort George on Thursday 18th July 2019 at 7.30pm, given by the internationally acclaimed pianist Mac McClure, who is American by birth and has a home in Barcelona, and the Colombian violinist, Juan Carlos Higuita Estrada.

Refreshments will be available at the adjoining cafe during the interval.

Tickets will be available at the door - adults £15 and students £2 – and we suggest that you aim to arrive at 7.00 pm because, subject to the minibus service referred to below, it is a long walk from the outside car park to the Chapel!  As this venture is additional to our published programme, everyone, including our much-valued Season ticket holders, will be asked to pay £15 each for tickets at the door.

We have made special arrangements for travel to Fort George and return by Nairn Community Transport minibus for those who do not wish or are unable to travel there by car.  One minibus will pick up at the Forres Tolbooth, and another will pick up from Nairn Community & Arts Centre.  Each minibus will take passengers to the Chapel at Fort George, and then operate a shuttle service between the outside car park and the Chapel for those arriving by car.  Seats on the minibuses are limited to 14, and advance booking is required by telephone to the Nairn Community & Arts Centre on 01667 453476.  The pickup time will be advised when you book, and a £2 contribution per passenger to the driver would be greatly appreciated.
