The timing could not be better for this Easter’s performance by the internationally acclaimed Skaparis, a Manchester based orchestra, in a global livestream filmed at the Lighthouse in Salford and going online on the 3rd April.

Using the Old Norse word meaning to create, the ensemble was formed in 2016 by the highly thought of Simon Robertshaw. The group were soon to become much admired in the public arena. In November 2018, only 2 years since its inception, they performed with another titan of the music world, Gary Numan. Skaparis received acclaim from critic and fan alike.

The April 3rd global livestream will involve the performance of 3 pieces that are set to cheer up a claustrophobic public who are in as much need of being entertained as the performers and organisers are to putting it on in this event.

First to perform will be ‘Les Elemens’ by Jean Fery Rebel, originally a Symphony whose world premier was in 1737. His writing has become popular again in recent decades. Les Elemens was a piece written about the 4 elements of the universe; earth, water, air and fire. Then there will be a violin sonata in G by Mozart from the 1700’s consisting of 2 movements, 1. Allegro con Spirito (cheerful in spirit), and 2. Allegro (a straight forward happiness).

The third piece will be the 13th century Christian Hymn ‘Stabat mater’ all about the saddest of occurrence of Mary suffering the crucifixion of her beloved son. Called ‘Sabat Mater’ brought to us by Battista Pergolesi. The evening is a set of Robertshaw’s orchestra that will show the capability of a modern orchestra who are so well accomplished that they can showcase any genre of music. It will be yet another chapter in the progress of a phenomenal group who are flying through the world of music with unstoppable momentum.

For the first time in many years, Perth and Kinross will once again play host to a major music festival and this one is right in the heart of the city.

Party at The Park was due to take place on the South Inch in June this year after its postponement in June 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic, but organisers have announced today that the long awaited new festival to Perth will take place on 21 st and 22 nd August 2021 instead. The weekend will feature fantastic live performances from The Charlatans, Kaiser Chiefs, Embrace, Ash, Fun Loving Criminals, Gun, Tide Lines, Callum Beattie, Skerryvore, Toploader, Lightning Seeds, Be Charlotte and many more.

With more than 50 live performances, there will be something for everyone’s musical tastes. With a dedicated kids zone, it won’t just be for the adults either as there is loads for the younger audience also.

The team behind the event have already been running a successful multiaward event in West Lothian – Party at The Palace – and they were keen to bring the award winning event north. Peter Ferguson (PATP Director) said “The recent news of an improving situation has given us a real boost over the last few days.

“We are more hopeful than ever of having our party on the South Inch this summer. Moving it back a few weeks to 21 st and 22 nd August certainly gives it a great chance.

“All our bands were able to confirm they will be available on
the new date which is great news.”
