St Andrews Madrigal Group in Kirkcudbright on Friday June 7

• This event is now over, with more than 100 people having attended.

The St Andrews Madrigal Group visit Kirkcudbright this week for a second time with their performances of choral works by Byrd, Tallis, Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Parry, Farmer, Ireland and many more.

Fresh from concerts at Hampton Court Palace and Westminster Abbey, they’ll conclude their 2024 summer tour in Kirkcudbright Parish Church at 3 pm on Friday June 7th. Admission is free, and there’s a retiring collection to help with running costs.

Here’s a taste of the Group’s performance in Kirkcudbright last year:

Founded in 1946, the Group is a student-led choir consisting of 16 singers, based in St Andrews.

The choir holds multiple concerts each semester during term, which include repertoire ranging from madrigals to contemporary choral works.

Alongside the concerts in St Andrews, the group also regularly tours around Europe and across the UK, and has recently performed at notable venues such as Ely Cathedral and HM Chapel Royal at Hampton Court.
