This year’s Lammermuir Festival returns to live performance from 7 – 20 September 2021 at 8 venues across East Lothian, with a total of 37 concerts.  

Over the course of these two weeks some of the best classical musicians gather to bring audiences a very special re-immersion in the power of live music. 

Hugh Macdonald and James Waters (Artistic Directors, Lammermuir Festival) said: “We are so looking forward to sharing live music with you in September – it has been far too long. We have wonderful artists returning, or coming for the first time to Lammermuir to treat audiences to a very special return to music making. Careful thought has gone into the audience experience and we are confident that we are presenting a carefully managed and rich series of concerts. We are thrilled that with the support of our Friends, Benefactors and Supporters we are able to return with such a strong festival this year, including four live BBC Radio 3 relays. We look forward to welcoming you to this most magical part of the world this September.”  

The festival is thrilled to welcome the visionary American pianist Jeremy Denk- as Artist in Residence, Scottish Opera- performing Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, and many more artists, including: Dunedin Consort, Roderick Williams, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Chloë Hanslip, Danny Driver, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective, Joshua Ellicott, Coco Tomita, Maxwell and Navarra String Quartets.  

Paul Bush OBE (VisitScotland, Director of Events) said: “Events play an important role in our communities as they sustain livelihoods and bring social and economic change. EventScotland is delighted to be supporting Lammermuir Festival through Scotland’s Events Recovery Fund, which is helping event organisers be innovative in their event delivery and pilot new ideas as they adapt to running events in the new norm. 

“Scotland is the perfect stage for events and supporting events, including Lammermuir Festival, is crucial in our recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.”
