Greetings and welcome to the programme for St Andrew’s and St George’s West at Festival Time 2019! My name is Rosie Magee and I am the recently inducted minister at St Andrew’s and St George’s West. This will be my first year experiencing the entire month of Edinburgh Festivals ‘up close’. It is such a delight to see the many and varied offerings in this year’s schedule at St Andrew’s and St George’s West. All of the performers are new to me and I feel like a ‘kid in a cultural candy store’ as I see what is in store. In keeping with the culture of hospitality at St Andrew’s and St George’s West there is nurture for mind,

body and spirit throughout the festival season. There is classical, chamber, opera, jazz, swing, folk music and musical theatre as well as organ recitals on the church’s splendid Wells-Kennedy organ. I am drawn to so many performances it is hard to single out any one.

As you look through this programme you will be drawn to different events – and that is just as it should be. Hopefully there is something for everyone. And while you are at the church take some time for refreshment in our wonderful Undercroft Café – serving fairly-traded coffee, treats and lunches. Our services of worship continue throughout the festival. You would be made most welcome at any of our three Sunday morning services. Be sure to introduce yourselves – this is a time to forge new connections and make re-connections.

I hope you enjoy being a part of St Andrew’s and St George’s West at Festival Time 2019 and that you will feel at home here. There is much to discover and enjoy!
