Our Exhibition Souvenir Book is now available
At the start of Perform in Perth’s 100th Festival year we were delighted with the response to our Exhibition in St Matthew’s Church, Tay Street. Together with the displays which traced the history of the Perthshire Musical Competition Festival from its earliest years through to the present time, the local groups who came along to perform in the series of short concerts brought great joy to the occasion.
Please make a note next year's dates .

Welcome toPerform in Perth
Perform in Perth is an annual festival of music, speech and dance. Each year around 2,800 performers take part in the two week festival which runs in March.
There are events for groups of almost any size and description, in addition to an extensive programme for solo performance.
Performers have the opportunity to develop their skills through receiving advice and encouragement from a team of experienced professional adjudicators.
Our working title, Perform in Perth, captures the all-encompassing nature of performance opportunities for our competitors in the areas of music, dance and speech.
