EVening Concert Series: Lark Ascending and Mozart Clarinet Concerto by Candlelight - The piccadilly sinfonietta

Step into the timeless beauty of St Giles’ Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece at the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile. Illuminated by candlelight, this iconic setting creates an unforgettable atmosphere for an evening of deeply moving and uplifting classical music.

This beautifully curated programme, performed by the renowned Piccadilly Sinfonietta and exceptional guest soloists, offers a rich tapestry of works spanning the lyrical and the profound. From the radiant serenity of Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending—featuring the exquisite violin playing of Ben Norris—to the haunting beauty of Barber’s Adagio for Strings and the intimate elegance of Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, the evening reaches a sublime peak with Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Concerto, performed by acclaimed soloist Matthew Jansen Giraldo.

With over 200 performances each year, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta has earned a place at the heart of the UK’s classical scene, celebrated for its expressive interpretations and virtuosic flair across the baroque, classical, and early romantic repertoire.
