A feast for music lovers …

The award-winning Edinburgh Academy Choir and Choral Society will perform Belshazzar’s Feast at the Usher Hall on Sunday at 7.30pm.

The programme:

Walton: Orb and Sceptre, Messiaen: Joie et clarté, Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto 1st Movement and Walton: Belshazzar’s Feast.

Angus Tully  – Conductor, Andrew McTaggart – Baritone, James Hardie – Organ and Imogen Wilkinson – Violin.

‘A choir in excess of 300, orchestra and two brass bands unite to perform Walton’s superb Belshazzar’s Feast.  This musical panoply of orchestral colour and vocal strength remains a favourite with choral societies across the land.  From its very first performance at the Leeds Festival in 1931, it made a tremendous impact on the listeners – exciting and irresistible music, recognised for its ‘savage splendour’.’

Tickets are £12 and £10 – under 18s are free
