About this show

Into its fourth decade of performances on the Fringe, and in the superb setting of The New Town Church (formerly St Andrew’s and St George’s West), Fife-based vocal concert group Ensemble returns with a programme embracing their broad repertoire and more than forty years of performing. Beginning with Beethoven, drinking with Donizetti, lilting with Lehar, sparkling with Strauss, vocalising with the Victorians, romanticising with Rodgers, harmonising with Hammerstein, and mesmerised by modern musicals – how could you otherwise conclude your 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe experience!?
