⭐️ Benjamin Britten died on 4 December 1976. This September, the Lammermuir Festival marks 50 years since his death with a day of his music on 11 September.

That evening, Scottish Opera Scottish Opera presents three of Britten’s outstanding concert works for solo voice: Les Illuminations, Phaedra and Our Hunting Fathers, performed by a trio of talented young singers. This is the only performance of this programme anywhere. 👀 Keep an eye on our social media for exciting videos from Tony Moffat, the orchestra leader.

Later the same night, baritone Roderick Williams sings Britten’s late song cycle Songs and Proverbs of William Blake: dark, intensely dramatic songs described at their premiere as the finest cycle Britten had yet written. 👀 We’ll be sharing a video soon where Roderick talks more about this.

11 September, Haddington.

🌿 Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Concerto Copenhagen return to the Lammermuir Festival this September for a three-concert residency built around the music of Joseph Haydn, placing his symphonic genius alongside the work of his Viennese contemporaries.

As Lars puts it: the variety, the modernity, the excitement of Haydn’s music is sometimes still hidden in the shadows of Mozart and Beethoven. Three concerts to change that.

14, 16 and 18 September 2026.
