LAMMERMUIR FESTIVAL

Every September, when the dust has settled on the Edinburgh Festival, ten days of wonderful chamber music is performed in a wide range of churches, the museum of air and flight and other interesting places.

“Miniature miracles are what East Lothian’s Lammermuir Festival specialises in, concerts featuring top rank artists in implausible venues, so that every September the union of great music and beautiful locations cre-ates a peculiarly special atmosphere.” Though not one of their venues, the ‘Holy Rock’, as we call it, has been used to promote Laura van der Heijden, a soloist at several of the concerts, winner of the 2012 BBC Young Musician of the Year competition and “one of the leading cellists of her generation.” Royal Philharmonic Society
