Welcome to North East of Scotland Performing Arts
Home of Aberdeen and NE of Scotland Music Festival, Aberdeen's oldest annual festival, and a highlight of the city's cultural calander.
2023 should be the 100th Festival since the Charity's inception. However, due to lack of volunteers only a limited festival will be possible, restricted to Instrumental classes only.
It is hoped that a full festival will be possible in 2024.
If you can help or just want more information please contact info@nespa.scot immediately.
The 99th Festival of Music, Speech & Drama took place in the week commencing Monday 13th June. Given the continuing uncertainties over Covid and the impact of various factors on teaching, consideration was given to the most appropriate format. A short survey confirmed that on balance, we should go ahead with a competitive festival. The results of the survey are summarised in our Blog/News.
