SUMMARY:Kid's Theatre: A Home for Hamish
DESCRIPTION:This autumn\, a brand-new family production from Just Us will travel throughout Scotland. \nFor kids ages 4 to 7 and their families\, A Home for Hamish is a lively\, multisensory show that celebrates friendship and imagination through playful storytelling\, dance\, movement\, and British Sign Language. \nA Home for Hamish\, designed by autistic dance artist Lesley Howard (they/them) and Deaf dance artist Clare Adam (she/they)\, transports kids to a fantastical world of exploration.

As they climb the tallest mountains\, dance with jellyfish\, and avoid dragons\, they must rely on and support one another along the way\, realising that home is more than just a location—it’s the journey you take with friends. \nPlayfully merging dance\, British Sign Language\, and immersive sensory design\, this 40-minute production creates an inclusive space where all children can see themselves\, their languages\, and their sensory needs represented and celebrated. \nDoors Open at 2:45PM\nStarts at 3:00PM \nBOOK TICKETS AND MORE INFO

SUMMARY:Stirling Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony of 1894\, full of melody and drama\, is the centrepiece of Stirling Orchestra’s concert. Drawing on melodies from Scotland and Ireland\, and the first symphony published by an American woman\, it’s a sweeping romantic symphony on the grand scale almost like a classic of the silver screen. There’s passion\, humour\, poignant nostalgia and a truly thrilling finale in store.\nIt’s paired up with the European premiere of new concert for Harp and orchestra by Beach’s compatriot Jennifer Higdon: cool and quirky\, it’s the perfect showcase for Stirling Orchestra’s talented longtime harpist Sophie Askew.
