As the Festival season draws to a close this year,\u00a0Edinburgh\u00a0will still play host to the best of\u00a0Scotland\u2019s emerging talent throughout the winter as a new programme of Sound Check events is announced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following a celebrated series of concerts last year, the groundbreaking \u2018Emerging Artists\u2019 scheme returns for a second successive year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring the best of\u00a0Scotland\u2019s young professional talent, the series gives artists a unique opportunity to perform live in the Usher Hall,\u00a0Edinburgh\u2019s premier concert hall, and gives audiences a chance to hear tomorrow\u2019s stars today.<\/span><\/p>\n

In partnership with Live Music Now, a charity set up by Yehudi Menuhin in 1977, the initiative not only makes high quality live music accessible, it also supports young musicians at the outset of their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Councillor Deidre Brock, Culture Leader for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to welcome this series back with a new programme and a new set of talented young performers, who I’m certain will be inspired by the fantastic setting of Edinburgh\u2019s Usher Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of\u00a0Scotland\u2019s best young musicians will have the opportunity to play on the stage where such greats as Ella Fitzgerald, the Flaming Lips and classical star Nicola Benedetti have performed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A range of genres will be on offer, from singer\/song writer talent Jo Mango, with her haunting, evocative vocals, to the exuberant rhythm and soul of Hebridean-originals Skerryvore.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the concerts will take place from 11.00-11.45am, with school pupils, children and students in for free. All other tickets are \u00a32.<\/span><\/p>\n

Members of the audience have the opportunity to chat with the artists afterwards in the Usher Hall Caf\u00e9 Bar. To book, visit\u00a0usherhall.co.uk<\/a> or call the box office on 0131 228 1155.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
