Songs inspired by Spring and heralding an awakening of new life by Fauré, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, Bax, Wolf, Sibelius, Poulenc and Rachmaninov.

Joseph Middleton has a fast growing reputation as one of today’s most insightful accompanists. He has devised four programmes of songs around the seasons. In each of these he is joined by exciting young British singers.

Running time 1 hour approx

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.
