Jeremy Denk Plays Mozart Concertos

Our Artist in Residence Jeremy Denk and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra close the festival with two of Mozart’s piano concertos, works which magically synthesise Mozart’s sublime musical and dramatic gifts in one perfect form.

Denk . . . began seducing everyone in the room with his lyrical, playful and intensely engaging reading of [Mozart’s] Piano Concerto in E-flat.

With impish charm, he performed this grandest of Mozart concertos with light-hearted irreverence. Each note sounded fresh and alive, as if thought through anew . . .

St. Mary’s Parish Church, Haddington

The Collegiate Church of St Mary the Virgin is one of the great ecclesiastical buildings of mediaeval Scotland, founded in 1380 and known for centuries as "The Lamp of Lothian".

It was severely damaged in the 16th Century during Henry VIII's 'Rough Wooing' of Scotland, and after the Reformation only the nave was used as a parish church, with the choir and tower remaining roofless.

It was finally restored to its former glory in the 1970s, and is Scotland's longest church as well as one of its most beautiful, with a wonderfully warm, resonant acoustic.
