Description
Step into the timeless beauty of St Giles’ Cathedral, an architectural jewel in the heart of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile — the perfect candlelit setting for an unforgettable evening of Baroque brilliance. This enchanting programme celebrates the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach, with a hand-picked selection of his most beloved orchestral and concerto works. From the uplifting grace of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 to the soulful Air on the G String, and the vibrant energy of his Violin Concertos in A major and E major, the evening offers a captivating journey through the elegance, complexity, and enduring beauty of Bach’s music. The concert also features Handel’s jubilant Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, a sparkling overture that perfectly sets the tone for a night of refinement and virtuosity.

Performed by the celebrated Piccadilly Sinfonietta, joined by leading violinist Ben Norris, this acclaimed ensemble brings together some of the UK’s finest musicians in interpretations known for their passion and precision. With over 200 performances annually, they have become a shining presence on the British classical music scene.
