The Fiddler of Strathspey Festival has close links with The Badenoch and Strathspey Music Festival Association, who ran the StrathFest musical competitions every year. The Grantown Society has now taken over the running of Strathfest, from which the "Fiddler of Strathspey" is now chosen. The Fiddler of Strathspey plays in the traditional concert of the Festival.
The Badenoch and Strathspey Music Festival Association was founded over 60 years ago to encourage participation and to promote the development and enjoyment of music and the performing arts across all age groups within the area and from further afield. It is run by a dedicated team of committed volunteers.
AIMS:
• to celebrate music and the performing arts through competitions and events within Badenoch and Strathspey and the wider region.
• to offer as many young people as possible the chance to enjoy the opportunity to learn, perform and shine.
• to share these ambitions with like-minded associations and community groups in Badenoch and Strathspey
