The final concert in this week of concerts featuring Scottish Orchestras and Ensembles.

Principal conductor, Robin Ticciati who took us his post with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, at the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, conducts Berlioz' choral masterpiece L'enfance du Christ. Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill takes the role of Mary and is joined by tenor, Yann Beuron (Centurion, Narrator), bass, Matthew Rose taking the key role of Herod as well as the Ishmaelite Father and baritone, Ronan Collet (Polydorus, Joseph). The 50-strong SCO chorus take a key role in the action, notably in the famous 'Shepherds farewell' as the Holy Family flee to Egypt but also as a choir of invisible angels (seated at a distance from the rest of the choir right at the back of the choirstalls) at the end of Part 1(Herod's dream) and in the glorious and mystical climax to the work. 

This is Robin Ticciati's second appearance with the SCO as Principal Conductor and also his second broadcast with them for Radio 3.
