In fine voice for East Neuk Fest choir
The major choral work, entitled ‘Memorial Ground’ has been devised by world-renowned composer David Lang to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, and will premiere on July 2.
At Sunday’s workshop the singers joined with members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra Chorus, under the direction of their chorus master Gregory Batsleer.
