Description

SCO Chorus
Gregory Batsleer Chorus Director

Programme to include:
BAX Mater ora filium
CLYNE The Heart of Night (SCO Commission)
PÄRT Da pacem Domine
POSTON Jesus Christ the Apple Tree
RUTTER Hymn to the Creator of Light

A much-loved fixture on the Scottish musical calendar, the SCO Chorus’ seasonal concert ushers in Yuletide with a warming collection of music under the inspirational direction of Gregory Batsleer.

The freely flowing lyricism of Bax’s rich and reverential Mater ora filium contrasts with the deeply spiritual purity of Pärt’s serene Da pacem Domine and Anna Clyne’s contemplative The Heart of Night, written specially for the SCO Chorus.

The programme also includes Poston’s timeless Jesus Christ the Apple Tree and Rutter’s dazzling choral epic Hymn to the Creator of Light.

Please note, this concert is not part of the Subscription ticket offer, but can be added on to your booking.

Please note there will be no interval in this concert.
