Celebrate with us as we mark the National Youth Choir of Scotland’s 30th anniversary alongside the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we return to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, one of the most recognisable choral works ever written. Famous for its dramatic opening O Fortuna, this exhilarating cantata sets 24 medieval poems exploring fate, love, springtime and the unpredictability of life, brought vividly to life through driving rhythms, powerful choral writing and rich orchestral colour.
The programme also includes the world premiere of The World by Jay Capperauld, with text by Robert Louis Stevenson and Niall Campbell, written especially to mark NYCOS’ 30th anniversary, and Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year, heard in its newly orchestrated version for the first time in Scotland.
Conducted by Artistic Director Christopher Bell, one hundred and forty of Scotland’s finest young singers perform alongside the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a landmark anniversary concert that reflects both celebration and renewal.
