Concerts by Candlelight 2025

Music from the past and present echoes through some of Scotland’s most awe-inspiring settings, in our annual Concerts by Candlelight, offering a captivating musical adventure.

A brand new work by Valentin Silvestrov, a Ukrainian composer currently living in exile in Germany, will receive its UK premiere. Known for music of serenity and transcendence, Silvestrov’s new piece Moments of Memory VI, will perfectly complement this atmospheric and enchanting programme.
