From For Unto Us a Child is Born to the unforgettable Hallelujah Chorus, enjoy all the glory and joy of this truly timeless masterpiece.

Handel’s Messiah

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Famous for its infectious rhythms and soaring themes, Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony simply bursts with life and energy. It’s the climax of a concert celebrating song in all its forms. The inspirational RSNO Changed Voices toast their 20th anniversary with a new piece by Cheryl Frances-Hoad and baritone Andreas Landin hits the road in Vaughan Williams’ lovely Songs of Travel based on the poetry of Scotland’s own Robert Louis Stevenson.

Beethoven Seven

Usher Hall, Edinburgh

Luminous, serene, and rooted in a profound and quiet faith, Rachmaninov’s Vespers were the composition that he loved the most. They gave their composer “an hour of the most complete satisfaction”, and every performance creates a quite unmistakable atmosphere. For RSNO Chorus director Stephen Doughty it’s a labour of love; his is music that glows in the dark, and in the beautiful surroundings of a historic church, it should speak straight to the heart – and soul.
