Festival Community Stage - Day 1
Join us for free concerts and events on the two Saturdays of the Festival – 23 and 30 May - in venues around the city as we celebrate our Community Stages showcasing local talent and local venues.
Each year our Community Stages attract hundreds of local people as we enjoy the incredible local talent coming from across Perth & Kinross. We are grateful to our funders, The Gannochy Trust, Perth Common Good Fund and others for supporting the delivery of our free events. Read on for our programme on Saturday 23 May.
Perthshire Brass

Kick-start your SAturday with the first of our Community Stage concerts: an upbeat hour-long concert with Perthshire Brass in the outdoor performance space at St Paul's plaza. The programme is an eclectic mix of genres, celebrating the versatility of the band and the virtuosity of the soloists. Enjoy popular and traditional brass band classics, musics from movies and musicals and music you wouldn't normally expect to hear from a brass band!
