Join the magnificent SCO Chorus and Chorus Director Gregory Batsleer for a profound choral contemplation of loss and rebirth from one of the world’s greatest living composers. Sir James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words considers the final utterances of Christ on the cross, from terror and despair to hope and transcendence, in music of raw emotion and shattering power. It brings together the immediacy of choral singing with the rich sounds of a string orchestra.
In a season of change and renewal, Seven Last Words weaves together influences from Scottish traditional music to offer a space for spiritual reflection, for listeners of all faiths, or none.
