Our very own Festival Chorus joins forces with celebrated brass group The Wallace Collection for John Rutter’s joyous Gloria and Ēriks Ešenvalds’ Trinity Te Deum.
The programme also includes the world premiere of a new commission by American composer AJ Harbison, which has been inspired by his visits over the years to Cumnock for The Tryst. Young singers from across Ayrshire’s three council areas, who have been working together for two years, also take to the stage, as local pride meets big musical ambition.
