The Harris Arts
Festival was set up in the early 1990s by a group of local enthusiasts
who felt that because of the strong cultural traditions of Harris
that the island deserved to have a Festival of its own.
The aims of the Festival were
to host events in Harris to which local people would not normally
have easy access and to provide venues for local singers, musicians
and other artists.
In the past the Festival has attracted many musicians,
singers, poets and others from all over the United Kingdom and
at times from other countries. Although the main concentration
has been on traditional and folk music, classical music has always
been a major part of the Festivals.
