Angels’ delight

The growth in Scotland’s national ballet company under the artistic direction of Ashley Page to the point where it now deserves a regular place in the programme of the Edinburgh International Festival was recognised on Saturday with the presentation of a Bank of Scotland Archangel award.

Page’s company this year revived Kenneth MacMillan’s Song Of The Earth, partnering it with a new work by Jorma Elo, completing a remarkable arc of development since it presented a Balanchine programme in 2005.
