Programme Note
Sometimes known as the Rachmaninov Vespers, this setting of the eastern Orthodox vigil was one of the composer's favourites among his own works, and is widely considered to be his greatest. Under the baton of Musical Director Alistair Digges, the Edinburgh Singers will be performing the entirety of this breathtakingly beautiful unaccompanied piece, including both the evening Vespers and the morning Matins.
The choir invite audience members to join us after the performance for a complimentary glass of wine.
