Travel to Scotland with the Orillia Silver Band! Highland Fling Concert - Sat March 21, 2026

Travel to Scotland with the Orillia Silver Band! Highland Fling Concert

The Orillia Silver Band is taking an exciting trip to Scotland and invites the public to come along with its Highland Fling Concert.  The concert takes place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, 7:00 pm at St.Paul's Centre in Orillia.

Our Highland Fling Concert is concepted as a multimedia event, including wonderful music evocative of the Scottish Highlands along with simultaneously projected pictures and video clips of the places we’ll visit together on our musical trip.

The concert opens with The Swing ‘O The Kilt by composer Montague Ewing, a tune that will get us all dancing Highland favourites right from the start.   

The centrepiece of the concert is the towering Hymn of the Highlands by composer Philip Sparke.  This seven-movement work is a tour-de-force for brass band and is a terrific soundscape of the sights of the Scottish Highlands.  Our tour includes stops at Ardross Castle, The Summer Isles, the forest of Flowerdale, the village of Strathcarron for a traditional sword dance, the village of Lairg Muir, the river Alladale, and the charming village of Dundonnell.  The full work provides opportunities for the entire band to show its musical skills as well as occasions for many of the band’s fine soloists to come to centre-stage.

The concert wraps up with the scintillating Gaelforce by Peter Graham, a work that employs three traditional Gaelic tunes to showcase both solo voices and the entire band.  

Please put this exciting multi-media concert on your calendar.  Your support and encouragement of the band is always greatly appreciated!

Join us for a collaborative and creative conversation at our upcoming Children’s Ministry Roundtable webinar on Tuesday, February 3, from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m.

We invite any who care deeply about this issue to join us in this webinar sponsored by the Shining Waters Region. You may sign up on your own and participate from the comfort (and warmth) of your own home, or you can join a group of us in the Banquet Hall where we will watch the Roundtable on the big screen, and have the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with the people who are present in the room.
