The Scottish Metrical Psalter: Celebrating 375 Years (Edinburgh Festival of the Sacred Arts)

Four newly commissioned settings of the psalms.
With the Sacred Arts Festival Singers directed by Calum Robertson.
​
Introduced by Prof David Fergusson OBE, DD, FBA, FRSE, Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland and Dean of the Thistle

The Scottish Metrical Psalter was first published in Edinburgh in 1650 and remains in use to this day. This event celebrates its remarkable contribution to sacred music with four new commissions – Edinburgh composer Chris Hutchings’ new setting of Psalm 24, and three commissions from winners of last year’s Young Composers Competition. The event will include an opportunity for the audience to sing some of very best known versions of these psalms.

TICKETS: £18 (under 18 £10) from Fringe Box Office and Eventbrite and on the door
