About This Event

The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers, under the sensational Sofi Jeannin - their Chief Conductor since 2018 - bring music of richness and depth in their Edinburgh International Festival recital. Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir is one of his most personal and intimate works, full of sinuous melodies, while Mendelssohn charts the church year in his majestic Motets, Op 79.

Violinist Laura Samuel, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scottish Symphony Orchestra’s leader, joins the choir for the exquisite expansiveness of Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds’ Ancient Prairie, as well as Paul Drayton’s mystical reimagining of Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, for violin and wordless chorus. Jeannin closes the concert with Norwegian composer Cecilie Ore’s witty setting of the witches’ spell from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Toil and Trouble.

Listen live on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 on Tue 9 Aug from 11am.
