Slovenian choir Musica Viva set to strike a chord with gala crowd in Easter Ross town of Tain

THE sweet sounds of a prestigious choir making a rare visit to Easter Ross will also be music to the ears of a worthy local cause.

Musica Viva, a highly respected choir from the town of Kranj in Slovenia, will be performing in Tain and Dornoch as part of brief visit to Scotland.

Marilyn Wallace of Tain, who is helping get out word of the visit, said: "The choir are only in Scotland for five days and we are very fortunate that they will be visiting the Highlands."

She said the local audiences "are in for a treat".

They will sing at Dornoch Cathedral on Saturday, June 24 at 6.30pm and again in Tain on Sunday, June 25 at 3pm where they will sing in the Gala Marquee at the links.

Everyone is welcome to come along to hear the choir sing a medley of traditional Slovenian songs as well as those from musicals and others that we may well recognise too.

Entrance to both events is free but donations collected will be given to the food banks in Dornoch and Tain.
