We’re delighted that the Royal Northern Sinfonia are back to close the festival with their Music Director.

Lars Vogt is of course not only a charismatic conductor but also one of the world’s leading pianists, and his performance of Mozart’s nostalgic final concerto – the last piece he played in public – will be something to savour.

Kodály’s Galanta Dances have their share of nostalgia, but plenty of springing ebullience too. And there’s no better way to round off the festival than with the gloriously triumphant finale of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony.

"Something truly special... chamber music writ large, fizzing with electricity and bouncing with energy. It made for a roof-raising end to this year's eclectic, brilliantly satisfying Lammermuir festivities."

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.
