Rudsambee's concerts

Saturday 30th April in St Mark's Unitarian Church, Castle Terrace: a charity concert with the Hepton Singers from Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire, whose brilliant singing - plus perhaps free admission and tea and home baking in the interval - inspired an large and generous audience to donate a total of £958.50 for two organisations, one national and one international, both with strong Edinburgh connections:
.

Rudsambee sang after the interval - music from Hungary, Ireland, Estonia, America, Scotland, Armenia and Russia.

Saturday 18th June in London, at St Mary Brookfield, Highgate: a joint concert with the wonderful group Voxcetera, who visited Edinburgh and sang with us in 2014.
Sunday 14th August in St Giles' Cathedral: a 45 minute concert, admission free, in the weekly St Giles at 6 series.
Sunday 21st August: Songlines. Free concerts at 2 and 4pm in the Palm House of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. We were singing by invitation for the Edinburgh International Festival's community engagement initiative. This was a lovely event, smoothly and professionally organised. We sang a programme of Tavener, Rutter, Mealor and Lauridsen selected by the organisers, and the wonderful mezzo-soprano Emilie Renard, accompanied by Andrew Brown, sang Handel, Wagner, Vaughan Williams and Mahler. Just inside the entrance to a major tourist attraction, we expected a bustling crowd of passers-by who would pay no attention to the music, but in the event we had a gripped and attentive audience for both performances.
Saturday 10th December: our Christmas concert in Rosslyn Chapel - all tickets sold before we had even begun to advertise! Derrick Morgan wasn't be able to conduct us, but we were very pleased and lucky to have Sheena Phillips, Rudsambee's founder, who gallantly offered to take over for the night, in spite of there being only 3 members left of her original choir!
Sunday 11th December in St Giles' Cathedral: an audience of hundreds for our short free concert of music for the Christmas season.
