Tilda Swinton introducing the Steiner School Benefit film in front of the new big screen.
A new Good Gig Guide - the 'what's on' in the Universal Hall is now published for the Autumn season through to the end of 2009. The Guide can be found at the Phoenix shop, in the Findhorn Foundation General Office, in the Universal Hall foyer, in Forres Community Centre. If you can't get hold of a copy send your address by email to uhall@findhorn.org or phone it through (01309 691170) and we'll mail you a copy.
We are pleased to announce that after a grant from Scottish Screen, we have now upgraded our film projection and sound equipment and we are showing more films in the new season which starts in August. The image and sound quality are really superb too. Films will not be listed in the Good Gig Guide (because we book them at short notice) but will be posted on this website. Alternatively, you can join our email list by adding your email address to the box at the top left of this website page and we'll send you a 'whats on' email every month and include the films.
Meanwhile, to see what we have on from now to the Autumn season, scroll down the list below.
From Russia with Love is the name of this magical and exhilarating performance guaranteed to transport you from the fairytale snow-covered Russian steppes to the glow of the gypsy campfire, from the Opera House to the Parisian café. A show full of Russian soul, tango passion and operatic melodrama plus some Hotclub and Hillbilly mayhem. Featuring Igor Outkine, (who also appears in the David Cronenberg film “Eastern Promises”) on vocals, acoustic and magic midi accordion, and Sarah Harrison, violin and domra.
Salsa Celtica's synthesis of Scottish and Irish traditional music with all the Latin American elements of salsa, has taken them and their music all over the world. In the last ten years the group has been a hit at major Celtic, jazz, world music and salsa festivals. Their lineup combines some of Scotland and Ireland's most exciting traditional musicians together with a stellar group of world, jazz and salsa players from the U.K. and Latin America. Their albums have topped both the New York and L.A. salsa charts and the European world music charts.
Ranked among today’s foremost young exponents of Scottish song, Malinky combine an array of vocal talent with a highly distinctive instrumental palette, in fresh yet timeless arrangements of both traditional and contemporary material. Malinky first emerged at Glasgow’s prestigious Celtic Connections festival in 1999, as winners of a DannyKyle Open Stage award. At a time when most new Scottish bands were focusing on instrumental sounds, their song-centred repertoire immediately marked them out from the crowd.
