If the weather is anything to go by, it definitely feels like the run up to Christmas.

What better way to celebrate the start of the Festive Season than with the SCO's performances of Bach's wonderful Christmas Oratorio in Edinburgh and Glasgow this week (1 and 2 December).

Baroque expert Richard Egarr directs the Orchestra, SCO Chorus and a glittering array of soloists, including soprano Mhairi Lawson, and mezzo Clare Wilkinson in Cantatas 1, 3, 5 and 6, which will be sung in German.

In the short video below, he talks about the magic of Bach's choral work and returning to the SCO.

 

Richard Egarr's next performances with the SCO are the Baroque Greats concerts in St Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow in April.
