Lammermuir Festival

The Lammermuir Festival was born of a conviction that historic architecture and beautiful landscape together can create an ideal environment in which to experience great music-making. The Festival was established to bring the finest musicians together with local people and visitors in celebration of music in towns and villages nestling between the Lammermuir Hills and the sea. The area’s wealth of beautiful buildings continues to inspire our choice of music and artists. Every year we celebrate the Festival with a programme of musical and geographical journeys which affirm the endless possibilities of music in this beautiful area.

We continue our close relationships with several of Scotland’s leading ensembles and, as well as inviting internationally renowned musicians, we also seek out the most exciting talent from Scotland, the UK and abroad. Music has the power to enhance, to refresh and sometimes to change people’s lives. We offer the Lammermuir Festival to all those who come to discover the magic of this beautiful place.

The 17th Lammermuir Festival will bring an incredible line-up of world-class artists: 41 concerts over 13 days in 13 venues across East Lothian.

Our programme includes no fewer than 6 Mozart piano concertos with Jeremy Denk, a Haydn residency with Concerto Copenhagen and seven song cycles with singers including Lucy Crowe, Nicholas Mulroy, Roderick Williams, and Joshua Ellicott. Add to that four world-class period bands, including The English Concert, and three fabulous choirs, including Tenebrae, and East Lothian in September is the place to be for Beautiful Music in Beautiful Places!
