The annual Christmas Concert with the SCO Chorus in Greyfriars Kirk has quickly become a highlight of Edinburgh’s Festive Calendar, and sold out in advance last year. Be sure to book your tickets quickly!
Included in the programme are Parts 1 – 6 of Rachmaninov’s Vespers. These are a powerful spiritual statement, with a radiance that carries one away to blissful places then gently back again. The programme will also include other works from the Orthodox tradition alongside medieval and contemporary British carols.
NEW CONCERT ADDED!
DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, WE HAVE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL CONCERT DATE. TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE FOR MONDAY 17 DECEMBER. PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR CONCERT ON THURSDAY 20 DECEMBER IS SOLD OUT.
Gregory Batstleer
Conductor
“What can so often seem like an endurance was here a euphoric success from start to finish... most impressive was the extraordinary detail he demanded and received throughout from Gregory Batsleer’s expertly-trained chorus; needle-sharp diction capable of cutting through the orchestral largesse, and expressive range intensified by the superb homogeneity of the voices” The Scotsman (Beethoven Missa Solemnis, April 2017)
