The partnership of Russian-born Alina Ibragimova and our Patron Steven Osborne has been hailed as one of the most exciting on the concert stage today. Their 2014 recording of Prokofiev’s violin sonatas brought five-star superlatives from the critics.

The F minor Sonata, composed against the background of Stalin’s Great Terror in 1938, is a tragic masterpiece plumbing depths of despair and horror while, in contrast, the Second Sonata is altogether calmer and brighter in mood, even if uneasy currents flow beneath the surface.

. . . spellbinding . . . truly hair-raising . . . it's clear that this duo is capable of the subtlest interplay. Steven Osborne is the lion, or the demon, that needs taming by Alina Ibragimova's fiddler, dancing - sometimes ever so frailly - on the volcano.

Dunbar Parish Church, Gillespie Graham's grand red sandstone gothic church of 1821 stands proudly looking out to sea.

Damaged by fire in 1987, its spacious interior was restored with a colourful mix of ancient and modern features including an elaborate early 17th Century monument to the Earl of Dunbar and some fine 1990 stained glass by Shona McInnes and Douglas Hogg.
