Quas’ Etoiles?
Something to support, given the double DGASS connection …
“With a gap in the early evening of the Outwith programme on Friday 6 September, three sopranos and a master of music present a wide-ranging programme, with an element of fun as they have only three weeks to prepare!
“Frances McCafferty will be joined by Linda Milne, known for her Gilbert and Sullivan performances, and a complete unknown, MaryAnn Rennie. All three will be ably accompanied by Matthew Beetschen.”
The Abbey Church of Dunfermline 7.00pm Friday 6 September: doors open at 6.30pm; the concert lasts an hour. Free entry – donations for church funds
