Classical and folk join forces for a thrilling celebration of dance, in this joyfully unconventional programme masterminded and conducted by much-loved Finnish violin pioneer Pekka Kuusisto.
Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony dances its way from start to blazing finish, propelled along by driving rhythms, and brimming over with energy, passion and bounding positivity.
Kuusisto intersperses the Symphony’s four movements with a specially curated collection of folk tunes that he plays with his friends and colleagues in Danish/Swedish trio Dreamers’ Circus, injecting a distinctively 21st-century freshness into trad music from across Europe.
Pekka Kuusisto Visiting Artist Chair kindly supported by The Honorary Consulate of Finland, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
