Tickets for the first of our ECHR75 commemoration performances of Dreams of Peace & Freedom are now on sale.

Each of our performances this year are being staged in places of inspiration for David Maxwell Fyfe, the ECHR's British artisan. The song cycle tells the story of the birth of modern human rights through his eyes, and his connection with the places we are playing makes the tour particularly personal and special. Our opening show is in Dornoch Cathedral on 20th June, with tickets available now from HistoryLinks Museum. David's mother Isabel was born and grew up in the town, and the injustices done to her family during the late Highland Clearances forged his lifelong commitment to justice and universal rights for all.

Over the summer we return to the Edinburgh Fringe where Dreams of Peace & Freedom was premiered ten years ago. Edinburgh was where David was born and lived for the first 18 years of his life. He was schooled at George Watson's College, that hosted a performance alongside their chamber choir in 2023. This year the show will be performing for two weeks at C alto, the central Quaker House on the Royal Mile, and there couldn't be a more fitting place to chime with our message of peace and freedom.

Later this year performances are planned for Oxford, where David went to University, London, where he served as a lawyer and MP, and Liverpool, the city of his constituency, and where he first practiced as a lawyer. For more details about our year of commemoration of ECHR75 and celebration of its protections visit our new independent website Songs of the People which is now live online.
