Festive Lunchtime

We enjoyed a Festival lunchtime recital at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, given by Soprano Judith Gardner Jones and Neil Mantle on French Horn, accompanied on the piano by Gillian Gray. The most enjoyable programme included works by Lachner, Proch, Cooke and Ressinger. 

My photo of their final bow is not blipworthy, so here is a photo taken on our way, part of one of the Millennium windows by Paolozzi* being admired by a pigeon. From the inside it is stunningly beautiful.

*The window was designed by Eduardo Paolozzi, who was born in Leith, to replace the plain glass rose and lancets in the Resurrection Chapel. Given in memory of Mary Carmichael, a much loved member of the congregation, it was dedicated in October 2002. When the sun floods through the window, it transforms the plain stone and woodwork into a kaleidoscope of colour.
