Scottish Ensemble: Concerts by Candlelight

Scottish Ensemble are back at St John's Kirk on Saturday 5 December, for their annual concerts by candlelight. It's a regular fixture in the Perth calendar, with strings playing inside the Kirk while the candles are lit, and this year's edition follows the same format.

It's built for audiences of all ages, so it's as much a family outing as a night out on your own. The ensemble describes it as an intimate, atmospheric evening that offers a cosy refuge from the winter chill, which is a fair way of putting it when you're sitting in the Kirk in early December. The music is the focus, and the candlelight does the rest.

Tickets are £25, with a reduced price of £13 for disabled people, students, the unwaged, and under 30s — that includes a £2.50 booking fee. Under 16s go in for free, provided they're accompanied by a paying adult. Advance booking is required, so you'll want to sort your seats before the night. It starts at 19:30 at St John's Kirk, St John's Place, Perth, PH1 5SZ.
