Programme

  • BRAHMS

    Violin Concerto

  • MENDELSSOHN

    Symphony No 3 'Scottish'

Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor
Nicola Benedetti Violin

Scotland’s most esteemed violinist – the peerless Nicola Benedetti – joins SCO Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev for an end-of-Season celebration full of romance and adventure.

Conceived on a grand scale, Brahms’ mighty Violin Concerto deals in profound emotions and surging drama, but it’s also a captivating dialogue between violin and orchestra – just the thing to showcase Benedetti and Emelyanychev’s illuminating musical partnership.

To close the Season, classical music’s greatest tribute to our nation: Mendelssohn takes us from the atmospheric ruins of Holyrood Chapel to the clashing clans of Highland battlefields in his swashbuckling ‘Scottish’ Symphony.
