DON’T MISS ...

Messiah, Usher Hall, Edinburgh tomorrow, noon; Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Sunday 3pm This new year it is, unusually, feasible to hear both the Edinburgh Royal Choral Union and the RSNO Chorus performing Handel’s masterpiece, without requiring the skill of teleportation from one end of the M8 to the other when the Usher Hall performance ends. Fine soloists for both, with the RSNO fielding counter-tenor Iestyn Davies for He Was Despised, and ERCU favouring mezzo Annie Gill, pictured.
