It is with great regret that we have had to cancel our concert for UHI in Shetland on 16th April and also our open rehearsal in Kinbuck, Perthshire on 29th March due to COVID-19.
However, we are pleased to say that the UHI conference will go ahead in 2021 with the same programme and we have once again been invited to bring our “Histories and Her-stories” programme to the conference.
The announcement from UHI Institute of Northern Studies is as follows:
Regretfully, the 5th St Magnus Conference, scheduled to take place April 15-18 in Lerwick, Shetland, has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Shetland remains at low risk, there have been a number of cases and the community is worried about the situation. In order to play our part in slowing the spread of this virus, we have decided, with great regret, that we cannot go ahead with the conference this Spring.
The conference Island Histories and Herstories will now take place in Lerwick, Shetland, April 14-16, 2021.
Nordic Viola also hopes to bring a free event to Kinbuck in the autumn to thank all our supporters in our home region. Please click on the link at the side of the page to follow the blog and keep up to date with news. We have lots of new ideas to carry forward into 2021 and lots of time just now to develop them!
I would also like to offer a big thank you to my funders, all of whom have very generously offered to carry over funding to next year’s event.
