Summer Concert 2013

Our Summer Concert, Viva La Scotland, featured a programme that portrays the rich and diverse musical heritage of Scotland, both old and new. It included Cecilia McDowall’s Northlight, Ubi Caritas by Paul Mealor, commissioned by Prince William for his 2011 Royal Wedding, music of Scottish composer Cedric Thorpe Davie to mark the composer’s centenary year, All in the April Evening by Hugh Roberton, and many traditional Scottish tunes, given spectacular choral arrangements by the likes of Ken Johnston and others. The concert also featured The Pentland Junior Singers, solos from Jessica Leary and a selection of Scots poetry written and read by Eileen Chadwick. Our accompanist was Justin Nash and of course our Musical Director is Bede Williams.
