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.
