Nostalgia and deep spirituality pervade this concert under regular SCO Collaborator Andrew Manze, increasingly respected worldwide for his remarkable insights into English music.

Following a brand new work by our Associate Composer Anna Clyne, exceptional young German baritone Benjamin Appl makes his SCO debut in the haunting melancholy of Butterworth's tender A Shropshire Lad, indelibly associated with those lost in the Great War.

Vaughan Williams' ever popular The Lark Ascending is sure to delight, and the concert closes with the sensuous sweetness of his languorous tribute to the power of music.

Filmed at Perth Concert Hall, this concert will be broadcast via SCO’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
