Two of our pupils attended a workshop and performance with world-famous Scottish percussionist Dame Evelyn Glynnie at Dumfries House.
As part of Sir James McMillan’s Cumnock Tryst festival, S1 pupil Miles and S3 pupil Cody worked with other pupils from East Ayrshire to create two new works which they later performed.
What an amazing opportunity!
