The stage is set for some of the biggest names in classical music to light up Cumnock this weekend.
The annual Tryst festival in the town will stage performances from the likes of Sir James MacMillan and Nicola Benedetti, as well as top groups such as the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s New Music Ensemble.
And as well as celebrating pieces by some of the world’s most famous composers, this year’s festival will also toast the rich heritage of the area.
