Cadenza at the Fringe 2026

Edinburgh's acclaimed chamber choir Cadenza returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with an evening of powerful and contemplative choral music.
Our programme brings together three extraordinary works:
• Sergei Rachmaninoff - All-Night Vigil
A landmark of choral writing, celebrated for its warmth, depth and glowing harmony
• Johannes Brams - Alto Rhapsody
A dramatic and heartfelt work for alto soloist, men's chorus and orchestra
• Lili Boulanger - Vieille Prière Bouddhique
A radiant setting of a Buddhist prayer for universal peace, written with striking colour and clarity, in a new arrangement for women's choir.
Together these pieces create a journey from darkness to light - a concert of reflection, compassion and hope.
Led by Musical Director Timothy Coleman, Cadenza blends vitality, passion and rich vocal colour in performances that consistently impress Fringe audiences and critics alike.
Soloists:
Alto - Cara Blaikie
Tenor - Iain Milne
Accompanied by Morley Whitehead on piano.
