The Navarra Quartet’s Mozart journey was one of the highlights of the 2010 festival.  These outstanding young players return to lead another day of music-making in beautiful East Lothian locations.

This year they focus on Beethoven quartets and late pieces by Britten, starting at Dirleton’s charming village kirk.  Britten’s Birthday Hansel, settings of Burns lyrics composed for the Queen Mother, make a lovely interlude between Haydn’s last quartet and the Beethoven.

Dirleton Kirk, Dirleton

Dirleton is one of the most picturesque of East Lothian's many beautiful villages, and its church, Dirleton Kirk, dedicated to St Andrew, is a real gem.

Built in 1612 to replace the parish church along the coast at Gullane which was continually being inundated by sand, this long, low-eaved church with its square, gothic-topped tower is built of warm pink sandstone.

Its striking Archerfield Aisle (1664) is Scotland's earliest example of neo-classical architecture. Inside, the mellow light filters through some especially fine stained glass.
