Heavenly. Spellbinding. Uplifting.
Don’t miss this rare chance to hear the sublime ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers in Scotland as they pair up with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and new Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth for a heavenly evening of Stravinsky and Bach. 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.
