$Dualchas M\u00e0iri Mh\u00f2r nan \u00d2ran$

Tha Tobar an Dualchais agus Cultarlann Inbhir Nis a’ cur air dòigh an tachartais seo, ann an co-bhonn leis a’ Chomunn Ghàidhealach mar phàirt de Sheachdain na Gàidhlig.
Tha an tachartas a’ comharrachadh beatha na bana-bhàird Màiri Mhòr nan Òran agus nan ceanglaichean aice ri Inbhir Nis, far an robh i a’ fuireach airson cha mhòr 30 bliadhna.
Mar phàirt den tachartas, bidh òraid ghoirid ann mu a beatha agus thèid taghadh de dh’òrain bho làrach-lìn Tobar an Dualchais a rinn Màiri Mhòr a chluiche. A bharrachd air seo, bidh Fonn Fonn Fonn, còisir a’ Chultarlainn, agus na còisirean sgoile Còisir is Ceòl na h-Òige, a’ seinn òrain a rinn i.
Bidh tì is cofaidh ri fhaighinn aig deireadh an tachartais, le cothrom a bhith a’ cabadaich le chèile. Bidh an tachartas seo dà-chànanach.
An uairsin thèid am prògram dràma ‘Màiri Mhòr: Na h-òrain ’s a Beatha’ a shealltainn aig Eden Court aig 3.30f. Sgrìobh John McGrath am prògram seo, a tha fad uair a thìde, agus chaidh a dhèanamh le Freeway Films. Gheibhear tiogaidean air a shon aig https://eden-court.co.uk/event/mairi-mhor
