SUMMARY:Foldings & Whirlings
DESCRIPTION:Clouds scud and wheel across the sky in a programme that celebrates the joy of deep breaths and the full possibilities of the human voice. Caroline Shaw’s origami-inspired How to fold the wind and Aaron Jay Kernis’ diaphanous Ecstatic Meditations sit at the heart of the each half\, framed by sixteenth-century polyphony from John Sheppard and John Taverner—music that folds back on itself over and again\, inviting us to look up and marvel at its vaulted lines.  \nJohn Sheppard Libera nos I \nCaroline Shaw How to fold the wind \nJohn Taverner Dum transisset II \nRandall Thompson Alleluia \nJohn Sheppard Libera nos II\nAaron Jay Kernis Ecstatic Meditations \nJohn Taverner Dum transisset I\nJake Runestad Alleluia  \nEllie Slorach director\nThe Singers of Dunedin Consort

SUMMARY:Cantatas & Concertos
DESCRIPTION:Imagine sitting in the Thomaskirche on Sunday morning in Leipzig\, four years into Bach’s tenure as musical director. By now you’re used to some extraordinary music from the great man\, but BWV 169 is something else. Not only does it begin with what can only be described as an organ concerto but then it uses just one alto voice to praise God alone. Telemann and Graupner both revel in the gorgeous combination of flute and oboe d’amore before a final Bach cantata draws all these threads together with a blockbuster organ sinfonia and and more stunning writing for massed woodwind.  \nJohann Sebastian Bach Gott soll allein\, BWV 169\nGeorg Phillip Telemann Concerto for Flute\, Oboe d’amore\, Viola d’amore\, TWV 53:E1   \nChristoph Graupner Ouverture in F major\, GWV 445\nJohann Sebastian Bach Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal\, BWV 146   \nJohn Butt director\nAlexander Chance countertenor \nStephen Farr obbligato organ \nAlexandra Bellamy oboe d’amore \nKaty Bircher flute\nHuw Daniel viola d’amore   \nDunedin Consort side-by-side with players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland   \nPre-concert talk with John Butt at 6.30pm.   \nTickets: £30\, £25; disabled/wcu £16\, £13; under 30s/student/unwaged £6; under 18s free \nDownload your free programme here

SUMMARY:SCOTTISH PREMIERE - The Passion of Mary Magdalene
DESCRIPTION:Mary Magdalene is one of the most enigmatic figures of the Passion narrative\, close at hand and yet never quite in focus across the Gospels of Matthew\, Mark\, Luke\, and John. \nTansy Davies The Passion of Mary Magdalene \nJohn Butt director\nAnna Dennis Mary Magdalene\nMarcus Farnsworth Jesus \nMary Magdalene is one of the most enigmatic figures of the Passion narrative\, close at hand and yet never quite in focus across the Gospels of Matthew\, Mark\, Luke\, and John. Her relationship to Jesus has long intrigued poets\, believers\, and theologians alike\, and Tansy Davies joins their ranks in this new commission. Drawing on the musical forces of J.S. Bach’s John Passion\, she assembles the texts\, including poetry by Ruth Fainlight\, and writes music for her deep exploration of the Passion story from Mary Magdalene’s perspective. Expect something intimate\, numinous\, and revelatory. \nCo-commissioned by Edinburgh International Festival\, Barbican Centre & Dunedin Consort \nTickets from £15.50 \n  \nWith thanks to

SUMMARY:Handel's Leading Ladies
DESCRIPTION:In 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene and at its centre stood Handel. \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nConcerto Grosso Op.6 No.6\nTorni omai la pace from Tolomeo\nNo\, più soffrir non voglio from Alessandro  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nPrelude from Il Lamento d’Olimpia  \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nFalse Imagine from Ottone  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nDifese mi giurasti from Astianatte  \nJohn Butt director\nNardus Williams soprano\nPaul Whittaker BSL interpreter  \nIn 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene. At its centre stood Handel\, whose works were brought vividly to life by leading international singers and musicians\, two of whom were italian rivals\, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. \nFuelled by public intrigue and partisan audiences\, their famed rivalry became part of London’s cultural fabric\, as did the striking contrast between their voices: Cuzzoni’s pure\, expressive lyricism set against Bordoni’s brilliance and virtuosity. \nThis performance is part of our Deaf Season and will be BSL interpreted – further information on our Deaf Season can be found here. If you have access requirements\, please contact info@dunedin-consort.org.uk and we will reserve seating for you. \nTickets: £6 – £26 (including booking fee)

SUMMARY:Handel's Leading Ladies
DESCRIPTION:In 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene and at its centre stood Handel. \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nConcerto Grosso Op.6 No.6\nTorni omai la pace from Tolomeo\nNo\, più soffrir non voglio from Alessandro  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nPrelude from Il Lamento d’Olimpia  \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nFalse Imagine from Ottone  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nDifese mi giurasti from Astianatte  \nJohn Butt director\nNardus Williams soprano\nPaul Whittaker BSL interpreter  \nIn 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene. At its centre stood Handel\, whose works were brought vividly to life by leading international singers and musicians\, two of whom were italian rivals\, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. \nFuelled by public intrigue and partisan audiences\, their famed rivalry became part of London’s cultural fabric\, as did the striking contrast between their voices: Cuzzoni’s pure\, expressive lyricism set against Bordoni’s brilliance and virtuosity. \nThis performance is part of our Deaf Season and will be BSL interpreted – further information on our Deaf Season can be found here. If you have access requirements\, please contact info@dunedin-consort.org.uk and we will reserve seating for you. \nTickets: £6 – £30 (+ booking fee) \nIncluded in Glasgow Subscription Season\, save 10% when purchased with Handel: Dixit Dominus through the RCS box office – www.rcs.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Early German Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Throughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. \nSamuel Scheidt Intrada No.22\nJohann Rosenmüller Also hat Gott die Welt beliebt\nChristian Geist Wie schön\nJohann Christoph Bach Merk auf\, mein Herz BWV-Anhang 163\nGeorg Böhm Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\nDieterich Buxtehude Wachet auf\nJohann Theile Nun ich singe Gott ich knie\nHeinrich Schütz Sehet an den Feigenbaum\nJohann Sebastian Bach Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\, BWV 61  \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nZoë Brookshaw soprano\nJoanna Songi soprano\nSarah Anne Champion alto\nGuy Cutting tenor\nChristopher Webb bass  \nThroughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. From court chapels to town churches\, composers contributed to a rich tapestry of Advent and Christmas music\, each work offering a different perspective on the story at its heart\, the celebration of Christ’s birth.  \nFigures such as Scheidt\, Schütz and Buxtehude laid the foundations of this tradition\, blending sacred and devotional intensity with expressive immediacy\, while later composers including J.S. Bach and his sons built upon these influences and transformed them.  \nAt this festive programme’s core is the chorale Nun komm\, Der Heiden Heiland\, a cornerstone of Lutheran Advent worship with a distinctive melody that provided the perfect foundation for composers such as Buxtehude\, Böhm and J.S. Bach to return to in search of new textures\, harmonies and melodic ornamentation.  \nTickets: £18 – £50
