Three meditations on death and mourning with the RSNO in Edinburgh
Mozart's Requiem packs in the crowd, but it's Berg's Violin Concerto with Carolin Widmann that really finds the spiritual depth.

Amazing evening watching this from @rsno.bluesky.social & the rsno choirs. Stunning experience - powerful, witty, profound, gorgeous, & the performances were fantastic, esp Lola. Using the choirs as the forest & the river was inspired. A privilege to have been there. Thankyou everyone involved. 🙏🌟🌍💙
Another wonderful rehearsal last night. Jonathan Dove’s Uprising gives glorious and moving voice to the anxiety so many of us feel about climate change and diminishing biodiversity. Profound and moving. 🙌🏼🎶 @rsno.bsky.social
