Lunchtime lecture: The Art of Hymns. Many hymns are artistic gems, but familiarity leads to their musical and poetic brilliance being overlooked, and unfamiliarity leads to their being ignored. Dr John Kitchen MBE, who is delivering the lecture, is the Edinburgh City Organist, University Organist and Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and the Director of Music at Old Saint Paul's Episcopal Church. He was appointed MBE in the 2016 Queen's Birthday Honours list. Tickets are 8 and are available from the Fringe Box Office and at the door.
