Mozart Concertos by Candlelight
Step into the timeless beauty of St Giles’ Cathedral, an architectural jewel in the heart of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Bathed in the gentle glow of candlelight, this majestic setting offers the perfect backdrop for an evening of uplifting and elegant classical music.
This specially curated all-Mozart programme, performed by the renowned Piccadilly Sinfonietta and exceptional guest soloists, showcases three of the composer’s most beloved concertos. From the sparkling virtuosity of the Violin Concerto No. 3 to the warmth and charm of the Horn Concerto No. 4, and culminating in the grandeur of the Piano Concerto in C major, this is an evening that celebrates Mozart’s genius in full colour.
