Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 2008/09 Adventurer: Elegies

City Halls : Grand Hall

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

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

Spiritual depth and brooding drama mark Karin Rehnqvist’s music.

Her new work is a kind of requiem, though reflecting hope and consolation as much as the darker aspects of loss.

It is matched with elegiac miniatures by the great Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu and Australian Brett Dean’s own moving requiem for a changing world; music inspired by Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony and filled with birdsong.

6:30pm Pre-concert talk (free to ticket holders): Karin Rehnqvist talks to Svend Brown about her new work.
