Return to the serenity of Greyfriars Kirk for Light Eternal, an evening of reflection and warmth in one of Edinburgh’s most atmospheric spaces.
This year’s programme weaves together music of luminous beauty and quiet power. From the stillness of Ēriks Ešenvalds’ O Emmanuel to the spacious grandeur of Rheinberger’s Mass in E-flat, the tender intimacy of Gruber’s Stille Nacht and the glowing hope of Cecilia McDowall’s O Oriens, each work draws us deeper into the mystery and promise of the festive season.
Performed by the SCO Chorus under Gregory Batsleer, with Su-a Lee adding her distinctive cello voice, Light Eternal brings warmth and atmosphere to the end of the year.
Please note: this concert is not part of the SCO Multibuy ticket offer.
