Pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie launches the Royal Conservatoire series
A NEW virtual performance series to celebrate musical talent nurtured in Scotland is set to be launched by the Royal Conservatoire this week.
Kicked off by graduate Fergus McCreadie, one of the most exciting young artists on the European jazz scene, the Scotland House Sessions will introduce students and alumni from the country’s national conservatoire to audiences all over the world in three lunchtime performances this Wednesday and on June 17 and July 1.
Conservatoire principal Professor Jeffrey Sharkey said: “It’s our pleasure to be able to share the connecting power and joy of music from Scotland’s national conservatoire.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
