Spring Fling

This year’s concert will be held at Marchmont St Giles, Kilgraston Road, on Wednesday 26th March at 7pm and tickets will be available from the door on the evening of the concert, priced £6/£4 concession. 
Doors will open at 6.30pm and refreshments will be available before the concert. This year’s concert will not feature an interval, and will finish around 8.30pm.

The concert programme offers a diverse range of ensembles, choirs and smaller chamber groups and also offers the opportunity for SQA soloists to perform.
This year, we are also delighted to welcome Preston Street Primary School Choir.

Rehearsals on the day itself plays a vital part, and we must ensure that all performers arrive 15 minutes before their appropriate rehearsal at Marchmont St Giles.
