The Three Rivers Festival of chamber music is Stirling's newest cultural event and will take place in venues in and around the Forth, the Teith and the Allan rivers over the coming days, beginning tomorrow (Thursday).

The impressive line up of performers includes several outstanding musicians from the Stirling area as well as from London, all gathering for four days of vibrant music-making in Dunblane Cathedral, Stirling’s Park Church and the Church of the Holy Rude, Blair Drummond House, and Stirling University.

The festival is the brainchild of pianist Catherine Duncan, a former pupil of Dunblane High School who is finishing her studies at the prestigious Guildhall in London.
