To launch our vibrant new Season, join the SCO players and our electrifying Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev on an unforgettable journey from darkness to light.
Few can be left unmoved by the pity of Richard Strauss’ deeply cathartic Metamorphosen, a profoundly poignant reflection on the destruction of World War Two.
From its famously gripping opening, however, Beethoven’s best-loved Symphony - the Fifth - forges a path from compelling conflict to the blazing radiance of triumph.
In between, superstar Scottish percussionist Colin Currie makes the first of his appearances this Season as central protagonist in Sir James MacMillan’s joyful, theatrical, visionary percussion concerto Veni, Veni Emmanuel – a dazzling celebration of new life and new hope.
Kindly supported by Donald and Louise MacDonald in memory of Euan MacDonald.
