This special foyer performance at Kings Place marks the launch of St Mary’s Music School’s Alumni Ambassador Scheme which has been created to celebrate and engage our former pupils who have made remarkable contributions to the world of music and beyond.

St Mary’s Music School, a specialist music school based in Edinburgh, provides world-class music and academic education for talented young instrumentalists and singers aged 9-19, drawing young people from Scotland, the UK, and beyond. Notable alumni include Steven Osborne, Garry Walker, Helen Grime, David Horne, and Alexander Armstrong. The school’s mission is to foster academic and musical excellence in a supportive environment.  It opens its doors to young musicians through masterclasses, interactive days and Saturday Music Classes.

Tonight’s performance is part of a longstanding initiative which sees our young player perform at venues across the UK. St Mary’s Music School is renowned for nurturing some of the country’s best instrumentalists and singers, providing a unique environment where gifted pupils thrive under expert guidance, gaining invaluable performance experience.
