Exciting young musicians and artists will perform, as well as more experienced performers, in a carefully curated programme. The events will take place in a variety of venues, each in their own way integral to the fabric of the history and culture of Stirling and its surrounding area.

From solo recitals to educational workshops, string quintets and improvised collaboration with visual art, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The programmes imaginatively combine familiar masterpieces with lesser known gems as well as a string quintet written just for the Three Rivers Festival which will première at the final concert.

Accessibility is at the heart of what we do, which is why our ticket prices are so low: tickets to our concerts cost only £10, and under 18s are free of charge.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an inspiring weekend filled with innovation, community, celebration, culture and musical joy!
