Another highlight of Scotland's musical life comes from the National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCoS) National Girls Choir.
Joined by Claire Jones, the official harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales, Christopher Bell leads performances of Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, An English Day Book - an exciting rarity by English composer Elizabeth Poston, and two contemporary works by Scottish composer Oliver Iredale Searle and Irish composer Stephen Deazley.
"Bell conducts both cycles with an urgent flow and, in the Britten, a sense of biting anger in This Little Babe and Deo Gracias...The voices are rich-toned, well-balanced and powered by developing teenage musculature...The singers' Scottish brogue suits the antique poetry" ClassicFM
