Prom Praise Scotland 2008 marks the return of the All Souls Orchestra from London between 16th and 23rd August, with their distinctive concert music style under the inspirational conducting of Noel Tredinnick.  It could be described as a Christian version of the last night of the proms and is a splendid light-touch introduction to the Christian faith.

 

The core of the All Souls Orchestra consists of musicians who week by week lead praise at All Souls Langhan Place Church in London.  This is probably the best church orchestra in Britain and all church musicians and budding musicians would benefit from hearing them.

 

To make this happen, some new concessions have been introduced.  At the afternoon session, all children and young people of school age – including June 2008 school leavers – will be admitted for half price, and unemployed people of employable age will be admitted for £5.  In the evening, matriculated students will be admitted to any seat for £5.

“The life of John Hunter covers a period of religious history which will, probably, come to be reckoned of great significance – a passing from one age to another, comparable to the Reformation in the sixteenth century. But to us in 1921 it is a ‘time which is just far enough off and just near enough to be forgotten’. We cannot, however, afford to forget it, for a study of its successes and failures will guide us – more perhaps than we are ready to acknowledge – towards the true solution of the religious, social and ecclesiastical problems of our time.”
