The Lamp of Lothian has a tradition of promoting and supporting an annual series of concerts, largely in St Mary’s Church, regularly attracting internationally renowned musicians, including the Late Yehudi Menuhin, Tommy Smith, and Cleo Laine, as well as home grown stars such as O Duo. The focus has long been on promoting excellence as well as encouraging young people.

For 2010, the Lammermuir Festival is launched – “beautiful music, beautiful places”.

Beautiful Music. Beautiful Places

Featuring major music artists, orchestras and ensembles, the inaugural Lammermuir Festival will take place from Friday 10 to Sunday 19 September 2010 in a host of intriguing venues across East Lothian, including historic buildings, intimate churches and on board Concorde!

The Lammermuir Festival is the first of its kind for this historic region whose stunning natural beauty, boasting the Lammermuir Hills on one side and spectacular cliffs and seascape on the other, has greatly influenced the programming and choice of venues. With outstanding classical music concerts afternoon and evening in both rural and town settings, The Lammermuir Festival offers the ideal opportunity for visitors and locals to explore East Lothian and discover new places, as well as to experience world-class performances of live music.
