The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra is delighted to celebrate their 20th anniversary year with a
stunning concert that brings alive the energy of jazz and pay tribute to some legendary names.
It is twenty years since the inception of the TSYJO, and in that time, the orchestra has been a
platform for some of the most exciting young jazz musicians in the UK and our present ensemble
includes several award-winners and critically acclaimed individuals who have won recognition and
approval from audiences and press alike.
The future for jazz in Scotland is assured as these gifted players, under the direction of Scotland’s
most distinguished jazz musician Tommy Smith, perform repertoire that includes music from jazz
legends such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Dizzy Gillespie and from their newest CD
Effervescence.
Enjoy a fantastic afternoon as these young players showcase endless talent, improvisational skills,
exuberance, and verve in an extraordinary concert of outstanding music. Please do join us.

The Birnam Book Festival Committee were so pleased with how the new facilities in the Auditorium added to an extremely professionally presented event. The lighting allowed us to create staging to match the country’s leading book festival events, such as we’ve seen in Edinburgh.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
As a past Chairman of Tayside NADFAS/Arts Society, I have enjoyed so many of our lectures in Birnam's wonderful hall and the hospitality which has accompanied it.
