ACTOR Charles Dance is set to perform Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait at the Edinburgh International Festival and BBC Proms.

The award-winning British actor, writer and director will narrate Lincoln Portrait with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Louis Langrée on Friday 25 August.

Dance’s glittering career includes stand-out performances in Game of Thrones, The Jewel in the Crown, Bleak House and The Imitation Game.

Written for narrator and orchestra, the work sets the speeches and writings of Lincoln against orchestral composition to create a musical portrait of the former President.

Charles Dance joins an eminent group of narrators who have performed the work since its premiere by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1942 including Gregory Peck, Paul Newman and Barack Obama.

The concert at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall marks the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s debut performance at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Following the concert at the International Festival, the orchestra will appear at the BBC Proms on Sunday 27 August in a programme that will include Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait, Bernstein’s Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
