Young Moray musicians at the Proms

Three young musicians from Moray have taken part in a concert with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland as part of the annual Proms season.

Cellists Miriam Scott and Oliver Clark, both former pupils of Forres Academy, and ex-Elgin Academy pupil Shannon Mustard, who plays violin, were part of the 80-piece orchestra which played in front of a full house at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Miriam is studying languages at Glasgow University, Oliver is a student at St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh, while Shannon is a student at Chetham’s Music School in Manchester.

The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 95,510 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.
