welcome<br />
I’m delighted to introduce our <strong>2010</strong> brochure. Read on and you’ll find an exhilarating<br />
mix of events in which national and international artists rub shoulders with local<br />
performers in the near-endless light of Orkney at midsummer.<br />
A number of our performances boast the Polska! Year logo. Polska! Year is an exciting<br />
series of events presenting the best of Polish arts and culture. Under the patronage<br />
of HM The Queen and HE the President of the Republic of Poland, the series has been<br />
running since Spring 2009, introducing some major talents to UK audiences. It will<br />
conclude in June at the St Magnus Festival.<br />
welcome<strong>2010</strong><br />
We are proud to have been invited to programme and present the final events of this<br />
prestigious project and look forward to the culmination of what has been an inspiring<br />
creative collaboration. We welcome, as special guests, an array of world-class Polish<br />
musicians and, in his bicentennial year, we celebrate the genius of Poland’s greatest<br />
composer, Fryderyk Chopin.<br />
Our MagFest strand sets out to delight and surprise, inspiring new audiences as well<br />
as enhancing the Festival experience for regular Festival-goers. Each year MagFest<br />
reinvents itself, and this year we transform a disused building in the centre of Kirkwall<br />
into a sophisticated venue which plays host to an eclectic programme of music, circus<br />
skills and cabaret.<br />
We look forward to welcoming you this summer. Please book early to ensure you are<br />
part of it all.<br />
