Dear Friend
Welcome to our August newsletter which I'm writing in the warm sunshine in our gardern - rather a rarity this summer! Following the very successful preview concert for the Melrose Music Festival in May we are now getting close to the festival itself which starts on Saturday 7th September with a concert featuring the Borders Chamber Choir and the Borders Chamber Orchestra. The orchestra's second performance will be the closing concert on Saturday 14th September and we hope to see you at one or both. Tickets are now on sale - see below. We also now have concert dates for 2025!
