SUMMARY:Messiah
DESCRIPTION:It’s all too easy to take Handel’s Messiah for granted. This extraordinary and enduring work has become a staple of the Christmas season\, with its glorious arias and choruses ringing out in concert halls around the world. But with Dunedin Consort it never loses its magic. Performed by our lithe ensemble of just 12 singers and 15 instrumentalists\, Handel’s music remains as crisp\, powerful and uplifting as it was at its first performance. Christmas just wouldn’t be complete without it! \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Yince a Paradise
DESCRIPTION:As COP-26 comes to Glasgow this autumn\, we explore music’s relationship with nature and look at how the arts can both reflect and inspire environmental concerns. Under the guest direction of the esteemed Norwegian choral director Grete Pedersen\, Dunedin’s a cappella consort perform music by J.S. Bach\, James MacMillan\, and Jan Sandström\, with a new work by Drew Hammond and Isobel McArthur — jointly commissioned by Dunedin Consort\, St Andrews Voices\, The Dear Green Bothy and Music at the University of Glasgow — as the centrepiece. Journeying between Scotland and Scandinavia\, this evocative programme of old and new explores the deep-seated connections between these neighbouring landscapes\, and the musical themes that course between the two. \nPresented as part of The Dear Green Bothy\, a collaborative cultural programme from the University of Glasgow’s College of Arts showcasing creative and critical responses to climate emergency.

SUMMARY:Madrigals of Love\, Loss and War
DESCRIPTION:Those who remember Dunedin’s glorious performance of Monteverdi’s Vespers a few years ago will want to plunge into the turbulent waters of his secular music in this programme. \nDunedin Consort singers and instrumentalists unite in a ravishing selection of madrigals about love\, loss and war from his 6th\, 7th and 8th Books – ardent\, vivid music evoking the world of Monteverdi’s great operas in microcosm. \nWe are sorry to announce that Nicolas Mulroy has had to withdraw from this concert. He will be replaced by tenor Christopher Bowen. The programme will remain as advertised.

SUMMARY:Bremen Musikfest – Große messe in c-Moll
DESCRIPTION:With its large polyphonic choirs and its long virtuosic solo arias\, the Great Mass in C minor\, written in 1782\, surpassed Mozart’s earlier sacred compositions in scope. Nowadays it is considered one of the greatest mass settings in the history of European music\, even though it remained unfinished\, like the composer’s requiem. There is still a good deal of speculation as to why this is\, but Mozart later reused large parts of the music in his cantata “Davide penitente”. Rather than making arbitrary additions\, the Dutch musicologist and arranger Clemens Kemme focused on material from Mozart’s own autographs to create his 2018 reconstruction of the work\, which was widely praised by experts. The Scottish Dunedin Consort and their conductor John Butt are one of Europe’s most imaginative and innovative baroque ensembles. They already delighted audiences in Verden with their performance of David Black’s new edition of Mozart’s Requiem at the Musikfest Bremen in 2015\, and with Clemens Kemme’s version of the Mass in C Minor\, they are once again bound to set a new standard!

SUMMARY:Bremen Musikfest – Davide Penitente
DESCRIPTION:When in 1785 the Wiener Tonkünstlersozietät\, a pension fund for the widows and orphans of professional musicians\, asked Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for a choral work for their benefit concerts\, the composer used a trick that was quite common at the time: he placed the Kyrie and Gloria of his unfinished mass in c -Moll with additionally composed arias and an underlaid Italian text for the cantata “Davide penitente” (The penitent David). It is possible that Mozart induced a reform of Emperor Joseph II\, which prohibited church music at that time\, to simply present his grandiose mass music torso in a new textual garb. At the world premiere in the Burgtheater in Vienna\, Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 80 was also heard\, with delicious effects\, rhythmic sophistication and a truly eccentric finale that exemplifies the composer’s originality. As the leading Scottish original sound ensemble\, John Butt and his Dunedin Consort stand for a slim and transparent sound full of structural details. They promise to lend the solemnity of these two seldom played masterpieces of the Viennese classic a new shine with high tension – a lasting experience!

SUMMARY:Dido's Ghost | Edinburgh International Festival
DESCRIPTION:‘Remember me\, but ah! Forget my fate’ sings Dido at the end of Purcell’s opera. But life isn’t always quite so straightforward\, and some memories have a destiny of their own. Set several years after the Carthaginian queen’s death\, Dido’s Ghost finds Dido’s sister Anna abandoned on the shores of Aeneas’s new kingdom\, igniting a murderous jealously in Aeneas’s wife Lavinia – and as events play out\, its characters confront a past that refuses to fade. \nCo-commissioned by Dunedin Consort\, the Barbican Centre\, Buxton International Festival\, Edinburgh International Festival\, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale\, and Mahogany Opera\, Dido’s Ghost reframes\, illuminates and expands Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas\, which is performed in its entirety as a flashback within Wallen’s drama. Performed on period instruments\, Dido’s Ghost bridges the gap between worlds\, as past blurs into present and memory becomes emotion in this ambitious new commission.

SUMMARY:Dido's Ghost | Buxton International Festival
DESCRIPTION:‘Remember me\, but ah! Forget my fate’ sings Dido at the end of Purcell’s opera. But life isn’t always quite so straightforward\, and some memories have a destiny of their own. Set several years after the Carthaginian queen’s death\, Dido’s Ghost finds Dido’s sister Anna abandoned on the shores of Aeneas’s new kingdom\, igniting a murderous jealously in Aeneas’s wife Lavinia – and as events play out\, its characters confront a past that refuses to fade. \nCo-commissioned by Dunedin Consort\, the Barbican Centre\, Buxton International Festival\, Edinburgh International Festival\, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale and Mahogany Opera\, Dido’s Ghost reframes\, illuminates and expands Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas\, which is performed in its entirety as a flashback within Wallen’s drama. Performed on period instruments\, Dido’s Ghost bridges the gap between worlds\, as past blurs into present and memory becomes emotion in this ambitious new commission.

SUMMARY:Bach & Buxtehude
DESCRIPTION:JS Bach scholars have generally agreed that the Concerto in A major\, BWV1055\, actually started life as a concerto for oboe d’amore – an alto instrument lying midway between the oboe and cor anglais – before Bach reworked it for harpsichord\, which is the version more often heard. Bach served as the Director of Music for Leopold\, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen from 1717-1723. The two principal violinists in Prince Leopold’s orchestra\, Joseph Speiss and Martin Friedrich Marcus\, had both been recruited from Berlin and the ‘Double Concerto’ was presumably written with these two talented players in mind. BWV82 was written in 1727 for the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary. Its anonymous libretto focuses on Simeon\, who\, after seeing the infant Jesus at the temple\, has no more need for earthly life.

SUMMARY:Passio with Hebrides Ensemble | Online Video Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Exquisitely restrained yet indescribably intense\, Arvo Pärt’s Passio is a modern masterpiece. This hour-long setting of St John’s Gospel draws upon some of the earliest settings of the passion story to reframe and distil its message for modern listeners. Interpolating passages for solo voices and choral ensembles\, we are never far away from familiar passion territory and yet\, with Pärt’s characteristic vocal candour and pared-down orchestration\, it is a work that somehow remains timeless. In a Dunedin Consort first\, we are delighted to be joining forces with Hebrides Ensemble in presenting this meditative and inescapably moving work to audiences across Scotland.

SUMMARY:Matthew Passion | Online Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, our celebrated interpretation of Bach’s Matthew Passion has earned us five-star reviews\, coveted awards and taken us around the world. It has become one of the cornerstones of our season. But in 2020\, for the first time in our history\, the concert halls fell silent and our annual performances were cancelled. It was a strange and sombre Easter without Bach’s music for comfort.   \n This year\, we return Perth Concert Hall for a streamed performance of one of Bach’s most heart-rending works\, a piece that feels more powerful now than ever. With that silent Easter behind us\, we look forward to rejoicing once more in Bach’s glorious music\, and its message of hope\, togetherness and salvation.

SUMMARY:Messiah — Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Dunedin Consort’s annual Messiah has become a staple of the festive season — Christmas just wouldn’t be complete without it. And in this year of all years\, we all need the joy\, splendour and sheer exhilaration that only Messiah can bring. While we are sorry to announce that our live performance plans for Edinburgh and Glasgow can no longer go ahead\, we are thrilled to be partnering with Horsecross Arts to present a streamed performance from Perth Concert Hall. \nJoin us from the comfort of your own home (perhaps with a glass of wine and mince pie in hand!) as John Butt\, soloists Mhairi Lawson\, Jess Dandy\, Anthony Gregory and Robert Davies\, and our lithe orchestra and chorus treat us to a Messiah with a difference. Tickets cost just £10 per household\, and the stream will be available for 30 days. \nAnd for younger viewers\, we hope you will tune in to our Children’s Messiah — specially crafted with little ears in mind! — on Tuesday 22nd December. Guided by Mr Handel himself\, we’ll be whizzing through some of his greatest hits\, with plenty of fun and games along the way. This stream will be available free of charge for 30 days.
