In 2024, The Cumnock Tryst is celebrating its 10th birthday and as part of our celebrations, we are delighted to invite singers from all over Scotland and beyond to a special day of music-making in the heart of East Ayrshire.
Led by the wonderful Eamonn Dougan of The Sixteen and our very own Festival Chorus Master Andrew McTaggart the day is open to singers of any ability and experience over the age of 16.
Eamonn Dougan is a renowned choral conductor and vocal coach working with choruses across the country including The Cumnock Tryst Festival Chorus where he is Chorus Director and as Associate Conductor of The Sixteen. Alongside him will be Andrew McTaggart, Musical Director of Ayr Choral Union as well as working as a conductor with the National Youth Choir of Scotland and National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Together they will lead a day of music making, vocal sessions and the singing of Sir James MacMillan's All The Hills and Vales Along in the company of the composer himself.
Come and Sing with The Cumnock Tryst will take place on Sunday 10 March 2024, from 1030-1530. Registration from 1000. Come and Sing will take place at Boswell Centre, Auchinleck, KA18 2LA.
