Fanfare ends East Neuk Festival with a flourish

After torrential rain on Saturday, more benign conditions helped to create a fitting finale for the East Neuk Festival yesterday.

The gardens and grounds of Cambo Estate were the setting for a unique musical performance.

The highlight was a world premiere of a new work by John Luther Adams.

From A Distance, specially created for the festival, featured a huge number of horns ringing out through Cambo’s woodlands.

Other highlights of the festival’s final day included a performance at Crail Church by John Butt.

He took to the Harrison and Harrison organ to showcase a mixed programme of music including masterworks by Bach and Handel.

The organ was originally built for the private house of John W Blyth (Michael Portillo’s grandfather).
