Welcome to the 38th Aberdeen International Youth Festival.
AIYF is one of the world’s largest celebrations of youth arts, attracting an astonishing array of talent from across the world to thrill audiences in the North East of Scotland and beyond.
2010 will showcase the talents of over 1000 young performers in over 60 groups representing 22 countries taking part in 100 performances across the eleven day Festival. Our participants come from a broad spectrum of cultures and walks of life to bring you the very best in youth music, theatre and dance.
This year will see the development of: our intimate music programme in the brand new ‘Up Close and Musical’ series of chamber, jazz and contemporary events; our family engagement programme courtesy of the performances at the Beach Ballroom, the Lemon Tree and Aberdeen Art Centre; and
our presence outwith Aberdeen City in our Extended Festival of 40 performances in locations as far and wide as Alford, Perth, Inverurie, Dunfermline, Peterhead and Inverness.
Access, excitement and fun are the buzzwords for AIYF 2010. With so much going on, the Festival promises once again to be one of the major events in Scotland’s cultural calendar.
