Start the perfect Festival day with good coffee from The Loft cafe and irresistible cakes from master Konditormeister Falko Burkert paired with terrific bite-sized concerts.

This morning we are joined by French oboist Armand Djikoloum and Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer, two outstanding young musicians of the new generation. They offer a brilliant showcase of music for oboe and piano with Poulenc’s late sonata, a dazzling and moving memorial for his friend Prokofiev, at its centre.

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.
