The Edinburgh Reporter Royal Pew Canongate Kirk

A feast of American choral music from Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen and Randall Thompson, Into the Light centres on Thompson’s extraordinary setting of the Prophecy of Isaiah. From pulpit-thumping fire and brimstone to delicate choral textures this cantata is promised to be a thrilling journey towards a vision of paradise.

Exquisite works from Lauridsen and Whitacre explore the spiritual, making the extraordinary comprehensible and bringing the unreachable within our grasp.

Tickets £10; students £5; accompanied under-18s free.

Available from scottishchamberchoir.ticketsource.co.uk and on the door.
