We’re delighted to announce our new season of six winter concerts. For over 50 years, Dunfermlinemusic with financial assistance from Chamber Music Scotland has been helping music lovers enjoy professional quality live music in an intimate and welcome setting. You can hear the music close-up and chat to the artists. Many of our performers are on the threshold of what will be glittering careers – you heard them first in Dunfermline! The opening concert of our 2024–25 season will be at 7:30pm on 20 October 2024, when we welcome the Lantivet Duo to Viewfield Baptist Church, our regular venue for Music on Sundays. The Duo’s passion for pushing the boundaries of the violin and piano duo format will captivate you with a spellbinding blend of traditional and original pieces.
For details of the concert, and how to get tickets, click the image above. As always. we can guarantee a warm, comfortable and convenient environment, an excellent acoustic, and live music wonderfully played. The music you will hear is ‘chamber music’ in its widest sense, so in the course of any season you are sure to find lots to enjoy, whether you warm to the sound of brass or woodwind, tap along to the syncopated rhythms of jazz, or prefer the delights of a string ensemble.

The strains of the "wee 'yrish tune" (celebrating St Patrick's Day) that the Fyrish String Quartet played as their encore last night have finally died away, and Viewfield Baptist Church is now empty of our audience. But what a splendid evening we had enjoyed, with lots of variety, from the well-known to the rarely-heard, and composed over two centuries, all consumately well played. As well as learning more about the delights of music for a string quartet, we also learnt that Emma Donald, violinist = Emma Jean, composer and the source of their equally Highland-born name (the monument built in 1782 on Fyrish Hill near Alness, Easter Ross). We'd love to hear the quartet again … Meanwhile we wish them well for their next season of music-making.
