Music in Lanark

Music in Lanark

Music in Lanark began in 2000 with the aim of bringing variety in live music to Lanark. Three classical concerts—one jazz and one traditional music concert annually made up the series programmes for the first three years. As well as promoting excellent music, Music in Lanark gives local young musicians a ten minute performance opportunity at the start of most concerts, and indeed a final concert is given over to them entirely. In the first few years about 45 local young musicians have delighted Music in Lanark with outstanding performances. The success of Music in Lanark comes from being able to invite the most brilliant musicians. This ability exists because local people want to support this enterprise and buy series-tickets for all our concerts and because local businesses want to contribute to help Music in Lanark achieve its aims.
