Thigibh còmhla ri Fèis Rois airson oidhche nach dìochuimhnich sibh, agus i a’ comharrachadh 40 bliadhna bho chaidh a stèidheachadh. Tha a’ chuirm seo a’ taisbeanadh a’ bhuaidh mhòir a tha Fèis Rois air toirt thar dà fhichead bliadhna ann an teagasg agus brosnachadh ciùil thraidiseanta agus cultar na Gàidhlig air a’ Ghàidhealtachd agus nas fhaide air falbh.
Bhon chiad tachartas san Ògmhios 1986, a tharraing 50 duine, tha Fèis Rois (a’ ciallachadh Fèis Siorrachd Rois sa Ghàidhlig) air fàs gu bhith aithnichte gu farsaing mar phrìomh bhuidheann nàiseanta ann am foghlam ceòl traidiseanta ann an Alba. Le prògram trang fad na bliadhna agus ruigsinneachd ionadail, nàiseanta agus eadar-nàiseanta, tha a’ charthannas a-nis a’ fastadh faisg air 200 neach-ciùil gus obrachadh le còrr is 5,000 leanabh, duine òg agus neach-ionnsachaidh inbheach gach bliadhna.
Fo stiùir-ciùil Innes White, bheir a’ chuirm shònraichte seo còmhla còmhlan-taighe de 40 neach-ciùil, le cuid den luchd-ciùil as fheàrr ann an Alba — uile nan seann chom-pàirtichean ann am Fèis Rois a tha a-nis ag obair ann an gnìomhachas a’ chiùil ann an Alba — nam measg:
Fiona Dalgetty • Mairearad Green • Lauren NicColla • Louise NicCoinnich • Mischa Nic a' Phearsain • Ronan Martin • Rory MacMhathain • Olivia Ross • Gillian Stevenson • Rachel Walker • Laura Wilkie
Join us for an unforgettable evening as Fèis Rois marks its 40th anniversary. This concert showcases the enormous impact of Fèis Rois over four decades as a leading force in teaching and promoting traditional music and Gaelic culture in the Highlands and beyond.
From an initial event that attracted 50 people in June 1986, Fèis Rois (meaning Ross-Shire Festival in Gaelic) has grown to become widely recognised as a national leader in traditional music education in Scotland. With a busy year-round programme and a local, national and international reach, the charity now contracts nearly 200 freelance musicians to work with 5,000+ children, young people and adult learners every year.
Under Musical Director, Innes White, this special anniversary concert brings together a 40-piece house band featuring some of Scotland’s finest musicians, all former Fèis Rois participants who are now working in the music industry in Scotland, including:
Fiona Dalgetty • Mairearad Green • Lauren MacColl • Louise Mackenzie • Mischa Macpherson • Ronan Martin • Rory Matheson • Olivia Ross • Gillian Stevenson • Rachel Walker • Laura Wilkie.
