Silent Night: The Truth From Above Vaughan Williams (+4 More)

A space for calm, contemplation and wonder. Music to soothe the soul, and celebrate the magic of the season.

Join the luminous voices of the SCO Chorus under conductor Gregory Batsleer in the intimate setting of Greyfriars Kirk for a much-loved Edinburgh musical tradition.

The hushed expectation of Gruber’s glorious ‘Silent Night’ forms the Christmas concert’s beating heart, alongside Vaughan Williams’s folk-inspired ‘The Truth from Above’, the mystery of Judith Weir’s ‘Drop down, ye heavens’, and the rich, cosmic power of Tavener’s mystical hymn. SCO musician Kana Kawashima intersperses intimate solo violin reflections.

*New arrangement of Silent Night by Lucy Walker commissioned by the SCO Chorus.
