Join us in the beautiful Dalmeny Kirk, near South Queensferry with the Astrid String Quartet and Athenaeum Winds. The concert begins with a two-course served dinner (6.30pm for 7.00pm) with wine followed by a short walk to the Norman-period church. The evening continues (at 8.15pm) with the programme of music, punctuated with literary highlights sometimes by the performers themselves or by featured orators.
The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland present two outstanding chamber groups comprising current and immediate past members. The Astrid String Quartet and Athenaeum Winds will present music by, among others, Grieg, Haydn, Milhaud and excerpts from 'Giri Toscani', a new work by the young Scottish composer and NYOS alumnus, Peter Longworth.
