Also in attendance will be East Lothian Provost John McMillan, who has taken on the role of honorary patron of the society.
The group provides chamber music concerts, which take place from October to March each year.
Mr McMillan was looking forward to the concert, which gets underway at 3pm.
He said: “From local performers to internationally acclaimed musicians, Haddington Concert Society is renowned for delivering an excellent programme of performances.

“There are ambitions to build on this and enable even more residents, including young people, to enjoy and appreciate the value of live music in the county town.
“I look forward to seeing more people having the opportunity to experience this in the years ahead.”
