The Badenoch and Strathspey Music Festival Association (StrathFest), was founded over 60 years ago to promote the development and enjoyment of music and the performing arts, across all age groups within the area, and from further afield. It is run by a dedicated team of committed volunteers. The main festival and competitions take place in March, with fundraising and associated events throughout the year.
PRESS RELEASE Autumn 2021
Strathfest Live Returns!
The committee are delighted to let all young musicians know that they are planning to run Strathfest Live in 2022.
After a successful virtual festival in 2021 Strathfest will return in 2022 with the opportunity for live performances in many of the categories. These include Traditional, Gaelic, Instrumental, Pianoforte, Vocal solo and small group performances.
However due to restrictions large group performances such as choirs and action songs, large ensembles and the open category will still have to enter virtually via our successful online platform playandperform.
The festival will take place the week of 7th March and the venues planned to host are The Duke of Gordon Hotel in Kingussie and Inverallan Church in Grantown.
So, all those budding geniuses keep practising and decide on your submission with your tutors. The full syllabus will be on our website shortly after Christmas with all the details of entry.
Fingers crossed next year is looking bright for music in the strath.
