St Giles’ at Six is a free recital series, highlighting local and international performers of classical and contemporary music. This week we are looking forward to welcoming back Lawrence Dunn and Philomusica of Edinburgh.

Philomusica of Edinburgh return to St Giles' to present J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 5 and the Scots Suite by Brian Bonsor (born 1926).

Lawrence Dunn is a composer and improviser born in Walthamstow, London. Attending Trinity College of Music as a junior, training as a pianist and percussionist, he later studied at Cambridge and at Huddersfield with Bryn Harrison. In 2018 he was shortlisted for the Gaudeamus Award. His music has been performed by Apartment House, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Modern, Quatuor Bozzini, Plus-Minus, Slagwerk Den Haag, Ensemble Mosaik, L’Instant Donné, Philip Thomas and Juliet Fraser. Recent pieces include a new work for Explore Ensemble, premiered at Wigmore Hall in 2022, with a recording to be released soon on Huddersfield Contemporary Records.
