The orchestra of Ridley Road, a state school, is to give a concert in Moscow at the European Festival of Youth, playing Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony before an audience of cultural bigwigs, but their instruments have been impounded by Customs. Luckily, Alex, the Russian boy who cleans the hall, is a devout Pinball Wizard fan who comes up with a plan that saves everyone.

Still a proving a favourite with our Junior Youth Theatre, The Musicians marks their first ever full-length performance. In addition to the Aberdeen performances, this play was also performed in Inverness as part of the National Theatre ‘Connections’ festival.
