LISTEN: Proms date for Moray musical trio
London's Albert Hall beckons this August for classical talent from Moray
Three young Moray musicians have been selected to play at London’s Albert Hall as part of the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland. Former Forres Academy students Miriam Scott and Oliver Clark, with ex-Elgin Academy pupil Shannon Mustard, will perform with the 80-piece orchestra as part of the National Proms event on August 7th. The Promenade Concerts take place in venues across London from July 15th to September 10th, the famous Last Night of the Proms. Cellists Miriam and Oliver, both 18-years-old, and 17-year-old Shannon were members of Moray’s Music Centre, and performed in the annual concerts held in Elgin Town Hall. Since leaving their respective Moray schools Oliver and Shannon have continued their musical education. Oliver (cello) attends St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh; Shannon (violin) is a student at Chetham’s Music School in Manchester. Miriam (cello) is studying languages at Glasgow University, but is a member of the Kelvin Ensemble. John Mustard is Moray Council’s Head of Instrumental Service:-
