Programme

Heavenly. Spellbinding. Uplifting.

The sublime ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers return to Glasgow for the first of two concerts this season which explore the connection between Bach and Stravinsky. It might seem odd for a 20th century provocateur and the master of Baroque music to be bedfellows, but the joyous 'Magnificat' was written to startle and surprise, just as Stravinsky’s 'Symphonies of Wind Instruments' has a serious, Bach-like sense of form and purpose.

There’s real magic, too, when both composers come together in the glorious Chorale Variations, and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers are just the voices to bring the invigorating and divine beauty of the Symphony of Psalms to vivid life. A concert to refresh and revive.

This concerts ends at approximately 9:35pm.
