Inverness/Highland/Island Christian Orchestra?
(This article was first published in Nov. 2007 - see "Comments" at foot of this page for updates)
Over a period of years there has been a steady increase in the number of gifted Christian musicians in the area. And with organisations like the Gospel Male Voice Choir, Highland Harmony and events such as the recent Prom Praise there is obviously a heart to work together in the field of music to the glory of God.
If you are interested in the prospect of an orchestra, you are invite to: -

| | The Editor | 04/12/2007, 23:13 | | Hi Jason, Thanks for your helpful and supportive comments. Will give you a ring as I am building up a list of interested parties; and we will need to think and pray through how to proceed.
| | | Colin Peckham (Guest) | 05/12/2007, 21:55 | | Great idea. All the best with it. Good wishes from those of us at Origin Scotland (Exile Chamber Orchestra and Choir) - www.inexile.net. Any help we can offer feel free to ask. I see Jason has already offered to support as well. I'd certainly take him up on that if I were you!
God bless your endeavours for Him,

| | | The Editor | 05/12/2007, 22:44 | | Thanks Colin. Will give you a ring if I may. It sounds as if you (and Jason and others) have "done the business and got the tee shirt". We can learn from you. Much to chat about. And say "Hello" to your Mum and Dad.
| | | The Editor | 06/12/2007, 08:06 | | There seems to be quite a bit of interest in all of this.
And it has been very encouraging (and perhaps significant/providential) that both Jason McAuley and Colin Peckham (see earlier messages)have obviously become aware of this discussion and - "out of the blue" - commented as they have; and so supportively.
So with the approach of "The Year of Homecoming" in 2009 maybe the Lord is giving us all a "prompt" to look at how this might go forward.
In a chat with Elsie Normington last night (Elsie organised the recent "Prom Praise" in Inverness) on an unrelated matter we got talking about all of this, and the notion of that sort of rally could become a yearly event as part of it all.
Let's continue to pray and to share thoughts in order to discern what exactly the Lord's direction is in these things.
| | | Elsie Normington (Guest) | 06/12/2007, 18:31 | | After hosting the hugely successful "Highland PROM praise" in November, I am very keen to hear from any Christian musicians who would like to share their talents at another "Highland PROM praise" event in November 2008. It also has potential to grow into a week-end of activities, where we could provide Master Classes, Jam Sessions, Worship Sessions and Forum for discussion on Christian Music issues. I would appreciate feedback from these ideas.
| | | The Editor | 07/12/2007, 11:02 | | Thanks Elsie for sharing your thoughts.
And picking up on Elsie's note, there is a "Send in your contact details" link further up this page which you can use to send in your essential details to the site.

This can then be used to keep you informed; and also to carry your thoughts and news to others.
| | | The Editor | 12/12/2007, 13:20 | | Two encouraging conversations -
1. Major Paul Billard (Salvation Army) thinks that a Highland "Songs of Praise" would be a great thing to do.
2. There is someone locally who would be very well able and is willing to serve as "musical director".
Great possibilities for the glory of God!
| | | The Editor | 31/01/2008, 15:52 | | There are some developments in the discussions about a Highland Christian music grouping. If you are interested, then please register your interest -

Thanks,

| | | The Editor | 03/09/2008, 14:57 | | An informal meeting was held in Inverness recently with some of those who are interested and involved in the local music and choir activities.
Jason McAuley who is the Artistic Director of the New Scottish - www.newscottish.org - very kindly came up to Inverness from his home in the Central Belt to share with those gathered some of his wealth of experience with Christians involved in music, singing and drama.
