Christmas Oratorio - Winter Choir & Orkney Camerata

The annual Christmas Concert by the Winter Choir and Orkney Camerata has become one of the highlights of Orkney's festive season.  For this year's event the choir and orchestra are joined by soloists Hannah Firth, Anna Whelan, Paul Rendall and Ian Ritchie, plus clarinettist Michael Butler and vocal quintet The No Boys.  The vibrant and celebratory programme includes Handel's Coronation Anthems Zadok the Priest and The King Shall Rejoice, Saint-Saens' beautiful Christmas Oratorio and three evocative 'snow' songs including the much-loved In the Bleak Midwinter.  Clarinet and strings perform Finzi's lyrical Five Bagatelles. Join 120 performers for an evening of uplifting seasonal music in the special ambience of St Magnus Cathedral!
