The NEW spectacular Highland Echoes show is our Scottish performing arts programming, where we use Scottish Highland Dance and music to tell the story of Scotland’s migration. All the legends, mystery, and history surround the Story of the Scottish Diaspora. This is our story, and we express it the way those before us expressed their stories…through the arts.
Residents and visitors in the Watauga county area have the chance to witness a music and dance spectacle like none other when the international Highland Echoes Music & Dance Company performs its full-length stage show “Highland Echoes” at the Appalachian Theatre of the High Country this July.
Formed in 2018 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit Highland Echoes offers inspiring and educational programs to engage the youth in Scottish cultural heritage with a focus on the Indigenous Scots Gaelic Language and the dying culture of the Highland people.
“Experience the magical journey of our Scottish Heritage: An Unforgettable Journey Through Music and Dance.”
The original theatrical production, ‘Highland Echoes’, is back due to popular demand as it celebrates Scotland’s vibrant culture, history and heritage in the Americas. Featuring Scottish Highland dancers and musicians from all over the world, this show is an unforgettable experience that will transport you to Scotland’s lush landscapes and rustic charm. With exciting dance performances, captivating choruses, blazing Bagpipes and tartan dress, ‘Highland Echoes’ is sure to provide a unique and memorable experience for audiences of all ages.
Scottish dance with innovation, musicians with a vibe of Riverdance meets the Outlander soundtrack, and a show so culturally rich it leaves audiences searching for their Scottish Clans. Audiences love all things Scottish, and when combined with vibrant musicianship and synchronized dance, it’s spectacular!
