Scotland’s world-class chamber orchestra returns to the festival with our 2018 artist in residence Mark Simpson in Nielsen’s brilliant, quixotic Clarinet Concerto which won him the BBC Young Musician title in 2006. Christian Macelaru, one of the most exciting young talents around, conducts music of thrilling rhythmic drive in three great symphonies.

It was clarinettist Mark Simpson, one-time winner of BBC Young Musician of the Year, who stole the show ...the performances ...were simply astounding.'

The Daily Telegraph

[Macelaru] is the most insightful and serious young conductor out there today.'

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.
