 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

Julian Clayton conducts Scotland’s only national youth symphony orchestra, as they welcome in the New Year from the New World performing Antonín Dvorák’s famed Symphony No. 9. In a programme drawing inspiration from the USA, the orchestra will also perform Samuel Barber’s emotional Essay No 2 for Orchestra, before being joined by American Violinist Kurt Nikkanen, in a performance of Stravinsky’s neoclassical Violin Concerto. Nikkanen, who is an enthusiastic advocate of contemporary music has recently given acclaimed UK performances with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the Gothenburg Symphony and Neeme Järvi at the BBC Proms.

Nikkanen gave a spellbinding interpretation of Wilson’s concerto; an enthralling performance of this superb piece. (The Herald)
