"The Dalgarno Singers will celebrate the Choir's end of Season with three Spring Concerts.
Adults £12.00. Student/Child FREE
The Concert Programme will be really enjoyable with a good selection and mixed with Scottish pieces
This year's Concerts will feature the Choral piece....
"A Little Jazz Mass", Bob Chilcott (1955 - ) which was composed for the 2004 Crescent City Choral Festival, New Orleans.
It says much for Chilcott's skill that he has successfully brought together two very diverse traditions - the Latin mass and the jazz idiom - in such an expressive and entirely unforced way; an achievement that has generally eluded other composers who have tried something similar.
The whole programme is a great mix, with something in thereor everyone. The Choir promisesan entertaining evening and will welcome your support of this small but vibrant group of singers.

Regular Music presents Karine Polwart 'Feather & Ether Tour'
Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries, DG1 4TA
Saturday 26th April 2025 7.30pm
2025 marks 25 years since KARINE POLWART embraced a full-time career as a Scottish folk singer, and 20 years since she scooped three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards following her debut solo album Faultlines.
Since then, she's become a multi-award-winning songwriter, theatre maker, broadcaster and storyteller whose work evokes a richness of place, hidden histories, scientific enquiry and folklore. Trees and rocks speak. Birds flit in and out of vision. And the stars know everything. She conjures the beauty and magic, the sorrow and complexity of the world out of the corner of her eye, with lyricism and tenderness.
On the 29th of April 1862, Mary Reid (or Timney) made history when she became the last woman to be publicly executed in Scotland - right here in Dumfries.
To mark this darkly poignant date, we're presenting a special Dumfries Ghost Walk, the tour features a blend of classic ghost walk stories with a key focus on Mary's chilling case.
Let us guide you on an unforgettable journey through Dumfries's shadowy streets and dimly lit closes, with a promise you'll never see our town in the same light again!
The public and critically acclaimed five star production WHEN WE WERE YOUNG goes beyond the tabloid stereotype of 'Neds' to tell a powerful and hilarious story about the realities of gang culture and young team mentality in Glasgow during the 90s, as we follow the lives of one of the many youngteams who polluted the streets of the city during a time it was known as The Murder Capital of Europe.
This production is both a hilarious and eye opening look back to 1990s Glasgow and the notorious postcode wars as well as telling a heartbreaking story of stolen youth.
This show contains strong language, adult humour and blood. Recommended for audiences 16+
