Join the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Chamber Choir, organist Geoffrey Woollatt and conductor Michael Bawtree for a musical celebration of the Feast of the Ascension. Built around Olivier Messiaen's early organ work, the programme includes choral music from the Renaissance to the present day: evocative masterpieces by Orlando Gibbons and Tomas Luis de Victoria are coupled with twentieth century classics by Gerald Finzi and Scottish composer Judith Weir.
