Information for Groups Attending in 2010

The Blair Atholl Showcase is for the young professional groups attending to use for consolidating/studying existing repertoire, for studying new works and above all to gain vital performing experience.

The Showcase 2010 runs from the evening of Saturday 1 May until the morning of Monday 10 May. All performers attending are expected to make their own way to Lude, Blair Atholl either by car or public transport to arrive by 6pm on 1 May and will depart after breakfast on 10 May.

Concerts

There are three main recitals during the Showcase.  The public recitals at the Lude House take place on the evenings of Friday 7 and Saturday 8 May and on the morning of Sunday 9 May. It is expected that each group will perform at least three main works at these recitals.

Daily Schedule

The daily schedule is structured into 4 sessions which are arranged between the Tutors and the Artistic Director but very much in conjunction with the performers' own preferences. The daily sessions are timetabled as follows:

9.30am - 11am, 11.30 - 1pm and 2.30pm - 4pm, 4.30pm - 6pm

The evenings are free on non concert days.

The Tutors & Staff will stay at Lude Steading. Young Musicians will be staying in Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Blair Atholl (10 minutes walk from Lude). Lunch, dinner and snacks will all available at Lude Steading during the day.

The final Sunday afternoon is an informal public performance where anything goes! If individuals wish to bring something to perform that is fine or often groups mix and match a little and sight read through repertoire for fun. There is always room for some highly eccentric items at this relaxed afternoon finale to the Showcase!

The whole Showcase is rounded off with a traditional Celidh on the Sunday evening with a live band.

Departure will be after breakfast on Monday 10 May.

Outreach Programme

Most groups will be involved in our Outreach Programme of local school workshops and these will all take place in the first afternoon session on most days. All groups should arrive prepared for undertaking a school workshop and should think about suitable repertoire for the event.
