‘Established in 1999 due to local enthusiasm for high quality live music in the classical tradition performed in rural settings and to a variety of age groups ... The main aim of the group is to bring concerts given by professional musicians to audiences in and around the Inverurie area. Inverurie Music also promotes educational musical activities, including workshops delivered by professional musicians in schools and other venues in Aberdeenshire ... Recently there has been an expansion of Inverurie Music's educational role in collaboration with Enterprise Music Scotland. Inverurie Music sets up workshops at local schools, instrumental groups and with the local orchestra.'
