Experience Rachel Podger live on December 16th

Rachel Podger will perform at Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews, United Kingdom on December 16, 2026. Podger is a highly regarded violinist known for her historically informed performance practice, particularly within Baroque and Classical repertoire. Her style emphasizes clarity, articulation, and a direct connection to the composer’s intentions, often employing period instruments and exploring ornamentation practices of the 17th and 18th centuries. She frequently performs solo Bach and collaborates with ensembles specializing in early music.

Holy Trinity Church dates back to 1521, originally constructed as the parish church for St Andrews before being significantly altered in the 19th century. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, it underwent a substantial Victorian restoration completed in 1844-1846, resulting in its current Gothic Revival appearance. The building features notable stained glass windows and serves as an active place of worship within the Scottish Episcopal Church. Historically, it was linked to the medieval St Andrews Cathedral and priory complex, representing a continuous tradition of Christian worship in the town for over five centuries. The church's acoustics are considered favourable for musical performances due to its size and stone construction.
