Programme Note
Enjoy an exceptional candlelight concert this Christmas in the stunning setting of St Giles' Cathedral in the heart of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Celebrate the season with Vivaldi’s iconic masterpiece The Four Seasons, brought to life as you’ve never heard it before. This vivid and revolutionary work captures the changing moods of the year, while a carefully chosen programme of festive favourites and classical masterpieces—including Corelli’s beloved Christmas Concerto, Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Elgar’s Nimrod, Tchaikovsky’s enchanting Sleeping Beauty Waltz and Strauss’s sparkling Blue Danube—creates the perfect soundtrack for a magical winter evening.
Performed by the acclaimed Piccadilly Sinfonietta and a leading violin soloist to be announced, this special Christmas concert promises an evening of elegance, inspiration and festive charm. With over 200 performances each year, the ensemble—featuring some of the UK’s finest classical talent—has become a beloved presence on the British music scene, renowned for its sparkling interpretations of the baroque, classical and early romantic repertoire.
