News / Classical music treat
PIANIST Maryam Sherhan and mezzo soprano Jemma Brown will perform a programme of classical music by Ravel, Purcell, Rachminoff, Bizet, Rossini and others in Lerwick Town Hall on 17 November.
The event is sponsored by Shetland Arts, the Robertson Trust and Live Music Now, a scheme set up to help young professional musicians at the start of their careers.
Shetland Arts music development officer Bryan Peterson said: “It’s a privilege to be hosting musicians of this calibre and to give local audiences a chance to experience such talent and proficiency.”
Tickets for the event that starts at 7.30pm are available via the Shetland Box Office at www.shetlandboxoffice.org.
During their visit to Shetland, the duo will also be performing at the Bells Brae nursery.
