Symphonic high spirits and choral splendours on a sumptuous scale – delivered by an exceptional quartet of dazzling singers, plus the massed ranks of the SCO Chorus, and passionate direction from Maxim Emelyanychev.
The ‘Great’ C minor Mass is Mozart at his grandest and most lavish, looking back with reverence to the choral glories of Bach and Handel, and full of pomp, ceremony and ravishing beauty.
Beforehand, Mozart’s musical love letter to Prague, the city that loved him more than any other, in a symphony of joy The Prague Symphony No. 38 full of drama and wonder. Join Maxim, the SCO’s instrumentalists and singers, plus four brilliant vocalists in a very special gala celebration of Mozart.
The plan is to meet in the gallery of the upper tier at 7pm for a chat and perhaps go for a drink to the Traverse Bar after.
Folk to get their own tickets.
I'm in Upper Tier.
Hope you can join us for what promises to be a memorable concert.
