Star violinist to take a bow at art festival
INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed violinist Tasmin Little is to open a Lothian arts festival by performing in front of Cockenzie power station.
The classical music star, who has performed with some of the best orchestras across the world, has been signed up to officially mark the start of the Three Harbours Art festival next month.
The opening concert will take place on May 31 against the backdrop of Cockenzie Power Station's twin chimneys, which will be lit up for the occasion.
Ms Little will also conduct a "masterclass" session with young East Lothian musicians in a Native American tipi during the festival.
Festival organiser Andrew Crummy said: "It's fantastic to have someone of Tasmin's reputation at our festival this year and it's also great to have a high-profile musician which emphasises that our festival isn't just about visual arts.
"This year is the 40th anniversary of Cockenzie Power Station, so it is particularly fitting that it is playing such a big role in our festival this year."
