The first of eight fabulous festival coffee concerts at Holy Trinity Church, Haddington, with Falko’s famously tasty cakes.

This morning, two sparkling young musical stars Irène Duval and Sam Armstrong peform Brahms’s lyrical A major sonata and two works composed by Czechs – the violinist and composer Josef Suk and the fierily romantic Bohuslav Martinu.

Holy Trinity Church, Haddington

Holy Trinity stands on the site of a Franciscan friary (the original ‘Lamp of Lothian’ before that title passed to St Mary’s Church nearby) which was built here in the 13th Century. The friary was demolished in 1572, and almost two centuries later, in 1769, work was begun on a ‘qualified’ Anglican chapel which was finally consecrated as Holy Trinity in 1815. The present chancel was added and the interior remodelled in an attractive neo-Byzantine style in 1930.
