SC&T Youth Presentation - 12th June
Since 1997, the overarching purpose of Scottish Culture and Traditions (SC&T) is to advance the education of the public in Scottish culture and traditions. This is achieved by promoting and celebrating Scottish traditional music, song, and dance through engaging, participatory learning experience. The main aim is to instil a sense of community, enthusiasm, and enjoyment among participants.
SC&T Youth, as an integral part of SC&T, extends this mission to youth aged 6-26 in the North East of Scotland. Launched in 2019, the year round programme of both online and in person activities is dedicated to providing exciting, inclusive high quality opportunities for youth to connect with Scottish traditional music. These opportunities span from very beginners to advanced players.
A vibrant community full of like minded young folk has grown over the years with the youth and their ideas very much at the heart of SC&T Youth. The programme includes the following strands:
- SC&T Youth Weekly Performance Group
- Performances
- Weekly Beginner Instrumental Classes
- Summer Youth Camp (with Mini Camp and also a residential option!)
- Workshops/Masterclasses
- Taster Sessions
Thanks to our main funder, Creative Scotland, and our fantastic local partners and sponsors, all of our SC&T Youth activities are completely FREE which allows us to be as accessible as possible for young people and their families.
Our speaker this evening was Laura Harrington who is project manager at SC&T youth. www.scottishculture.org
We were treated to three members of SC&T youth entertaining us with singing & playing of Scottish music on Scottish instruments . They were amazing and we are delighted that S &T will attend our annual MG show at Drum Castle on Saturday 26th July.
