SCO 2024/25: Silent Night

About SCO 2024/25: Silent Night

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

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.

Please note: This concert is not part of the Season Multibuy ticket offer.
