August 8, 2006 Tuesday
Inverurie youngsters will put a new spin on an old classic when they
take to the stage for a working of Twelfth Night with a difference
in Aberdeen tonight.
The Mitchell School of Drama will explore feelings of confusion,
love, passion and revenge - mixed through with songs from the 1930s
and 40s during the lively performance at the Lemon Tree from 7.30pm.
Elsewhere, a lively celebration of all things Celtic will set the
audience's toes tapping at the Beach Ballroom, also from 7.30pm.
Included will be performances by the North Shore Celtic Ensemble and
the award-winning Emerald Isle Irish Dancers.
Funky contemporary folk band La Mission d'Arthur le Dur, from
Aberdeen's twin city of Clermont Ferrand in France, will join singer
Kathryn Sawers and north-east band Seasons for the Festival Club at
the Lemon Tree from 9pm.
There will be an international song recital at Queen's Cross Church,
featuring members of the cast of this year's opera production, The
Turn of the Screw. Curtain up at 7.30pm.
A free Listen at Lunch event featuring Zahra Yusifi and Mustapha
Ashurov will also take place at the art gallery from 12.30pm.
Meanwhile, as part of the festival's touring programme, performers will
be at a number of venues across the north-east from 7.30pm tonight.
Young Armenian musicians the Yerevan Youth Chamber Orchestra will be
at the Melvin Hall, Tarves; Norwegian dance troupe Happy Feet will be
treading the boards at Inglis Memorial Hall, Edzell, and Sri Lankan
dancers Sankanjalee will feature at the Victoria Hall at Ballater.
