Dedication Service - Perth Festival of the Arts
2025-05-25 19:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | St John’s Kirk, St John's Place, Perth, PH1 5SZ
Perth Youth Orchestra and the choir and organist of St John’s Kirk for a great civic occasion and music that lifts the roof of this historic building.
The annual Festival Service has continued since the Festival’s early years and is a great tradition of the city’s Arts Festival.
The talented musicians of Perth Youth Orchestra, led by Lorna McGovern, join the musicians of the church to make Perth alive with music as we celebrate together. It is always an inspirational and uplifting event and a highlight of the Festival.

Please note – for concerts
PYO uniform is as follows: white shirt, PYO tie and black shoes with either black trousers (no jeans or leggings) or skirt/culottes in PYO Douglas tartan with black/navy/skin coloured tights.
If you are playing in the August concerts but are not coming back to PYO in the autumn, and if you do not have a PYO skirt or black trousers, then a school skirt is fine.
If you do not yet have a PYO tie, please email Susannah Rae on scrae@outlook.com and she will arrange for one to be provided at the first rehearsal back after the holidays.
Material for skirts/culottes is provided free of charge. If you would like to have your skirt/culottes made for you, Jackie Lumsden can make one for £15. For material or to have a skirt made, please contact Jackie on 07432671548. If you are planning to ask Jackie to make a skirt, it would be really helpful if you could order it before the new term so that she doesn’t have too many orders all at once when new members join PYO.
