"Our community was enthralled. Clearly one of the highlights of the year. It is so refreshing to have a group connect with our community as Road to the Isles did." "I would highly recommend Road to the Isles to any organization and would be happy to discuss our experiences with anyone interested." Road to the Isles was the most popular program of our season. We had a house packed with people of all ages, many of whom have never attended a Fine Arts Discovery program. The response was outstanding. Everyone loved the program and wanted more... The dancing was spectacular and the music was outstanding. This was a wonderful opportunity for the community...a great show! From virtuoso piping, fiddling, and flute playing, to championship quality dancing and songs that carry the taste of heather, Road to the Isles is a fabulous program. It was a soldout performance. "We are very enthusiastic in our recommendation of Road to the Isles" "A rare treat. Our audience was captivated. And Road to the Isles is very easy to work with." "Outstanding performance! I would be happy to recommend Road to the isles to any presenter." "The Road to the Isles’ concert was exceptional and very well received."
