A warm welcome back to EYG Big Band

We’re happy to announce that the Edinburgh Youth Gaitherin team will, once again, be offering a wonderful weekend of workshops for young musicians aged 13-18.

Beginning on Saturday 29 April those taking part will enjoy three days of classes at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre led by professional musicians and educators Lori Watson and Phil Alexander.

Each day there will be tuition between 10am and 3pm. On the last day (Monday 1 May) the newly formed EYG Band will get the chance to perform in the Traverse Theatre that evening.

Participants will learn and arrange traditional music as well as playing and performing together as a group.

This three-day course is for young people who want to develop their skills in their instrument of choice, play with other young musicians and have the chance to get exclusive demonstrations/Q&A sessions from some of the acts appearing at Tradfest.
