The city that never sleeps – and whose music dazzles and inspires.

Crack Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto launches his three-concert SCO residency in typically unconventional style. He joins a hand-picked group of SCO musicians to weave together some of the most exciting music by his friends and colleagues in America’s most vibrant city – and from closer to home.

Nico Muhly melds recorded sounds with acoustic clarinet in his witty, perky It Goes Without Saying, while Bryce Dessner – guitarist in indie rock band The National – draws on his Jewish heritage in his vibrant string quartet Aheym.

Following the folk-inspired grittiness of Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz’s violin duos, Caroline Shaw plays delicate games with Haydn in her gleaming string quartet Entr’acte, and Steve Reich provides a fitting urban celebration with the pulsating beauty of his multi-clarinet New York Counterpoint.

In association with The Skinny and EH-FM.

Please note: This concert will have cabaret tables in the stalls area. It is not part of the Jan-May multibuy offer.
