Something for everyone with music from 3 centuries - Du Mage, Pachelbel, Bach, Krebs, Leighton and Durufle. A great way to celebrate 120 years of the Cathedral's fine Willis organ. Admission £10, Concession £8, Student/Under 21 Free - and a nice drink afterwards. Lovely.

It's been a wonderful first week of the 2011 Festival of Sacred Music with superb performances by the Dunedin Consort and Con Anima and lovely, appreciative audiences. Looking forward so much to next week with a long overdue recital in the Cathedral by the talented and charming John Kitchen and then, the concert we're calling the 'hidden gem' of the series. Edinburgh University Renaissance Singers with the Dunedin Consort, top Scottish lute player David Miller AND, hot off the press, with Fretwork viol consort. It's going to be something really special.
