Dunedin Consort presents Handel: Dixit Dominus at The Queen’s Hall on Thursday 20 May 2027. This classical programme explores the musical world that shaped the young Handel, pairing his famous choral work with Italian sacred music.
The concert includes Caldara’s Introduzione from L’olimpiade, Lotti’s Missa Sancti Christophori, and Handel’s Dixit Dominus, with John Butt directing.

What To Expect
Hilary Cronin and Helen Charlston are among the named soloists, and the performance also features Dunedin Consort working side by side with students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. That makes the event interesting both as a concert in its own right and as part of the ensemble’s wider artistic work.
The Queen’s Hall lists a 7:30pm concert start, preceded by a 6:30pm pre-concert talk. If you like sacred choral music with energy and precision, this should be one of the stronger classical dates in Edinburgh that spring.
Tickets and Getting There
The Queen’s Hall is at 85-89 Clerk Street in Edinburgh’s Southside, a straightforward venue to reach from the city centre. Tickets are available from the official event page.
