Sunday Afternoon Concerts
All our concerts will now take place on Sunday afternoons at 3pm in St John’s Kirk Perth. It is hoped that this will be a more convenient and accessible time, particularly during the winter months.
Mozart Scotland Premiere
In February 2026, the Bibliothèque nationale de France identified a 44-page manuscript notebook as the work of 22-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during his stay in Paris in 1778. The notebook belonged to Marie-Louise-Philippine de Bonnières de Guînes, a talented harpist and daughter of the Duke of Guînes, who had commissioned Mozart’s famous Concerto for Flute and Harp, K. 299.
Within the manuscript were found seven light, short and inventive pieces for flute and harp, reflecting Mozart’s teaching methods and his collaboration with the young student. These newly discovered works are a significant addition to Mozart’s oeuvre, offering both historical and musical value, and are particularly exciting for flutists and harpists seeking new repertoire from the composer.
In our final concert of our 2026/27 season you have the unqiue opportuntity to join Portuguese flautist Frederico Paixão, Principal Flute of the Scottish Ballet Orchestra and Teresa Barros Pereira Romão da Conceição, also from Portugal, who will perform the Scottish premiere of these new works.
Emerging Artists Concert
To celebrate and introduce some of the wonderful upcoming performers in the classical music world, we are delighted to introduce our annual Emerging Artist concert.
We welcome the Lumen Trio who formed duing their studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Each musician of the trio brings to the table an array of innovative and unique interests, such as early music, cross-genre music, and collaborations with other performing arts disciplines, and melds them together to form this energetic and cohesive ensemble. In 2024, the Lumen Trio was awarded the Mary D Adams Prize for Chamber Music.
The trio features Inês Soares violin, Josiah Duhlstine cello and Mujie Yan piano.
They will be performing:
- Dmitri Shostakovich- Piano Trio No2 in E minor, Op. 67
- Josef Suk- Elegy for piano, violin and violoncello, Op. 23
- Amy Beach- Piano Trio, Op.150
- Arvo Pärt- Mozart- Adagio for Piano Trio

We are hosting the final of a new competition, the Variations String Quartet Challenge. This new competition is generously supported by Creative Scotland, the Hugh Fraser Foundation, the Pear Tree Fund for Music and the Gordon Memorial Trust. It aims to encourage more younger amateur musicians to form quartets and play together regularly. More details will follow on our website.
