The titanic battle between light and dark that underlies much of Schubert’s late music is nowhere more striking than in his last string quartet, a truly epic work lasting around 50 minutes. It may seem extraordinary to talk of ‘late’ works by a composer who lived for only 31 years, but the maturity and emotional complexity of this great quartet absolutely justifies it. An inspiring way for Quatuor Mosaïques to close their latest visit to the festival.

This concert is dedicated to the memory of Jack Shaw.

Utter integrity, technical assurance, considered authenticity, towering musicality and that x-factor of Viennese spirit!’

Dirleton Kirk, Dirleton

Dirleton is one of the most picturesque of East Lothian's many beautiful villages, and its church, Dirleton Kirk, dedicated to St Andrew, is a real gem.

Built in 1612 to replace the parish church along the coast at Gullane which was continually being inundated by sand, this long, low-eaved church with its square, gothic-topped tower is built of warm pink sandstone.

Its striking Archerfield Aisle (1664) is Scotland's earliest example of neo-classical architecture. Inside, the mellow light filters through some especially fine stained glass.
