City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
No composer has enjoyed a longer and more fruitful relationship with the SCO than Sir Peter Maxwell Davies – ‘Max’. He conducted the Orchestra in the premiere of his Fourth Symphony at the BBC Proms 20 years ago; Knussen was in the audience and recognised it immediately as a masterpiece.
As a 75th birthday celebration, Oliver Knussen directs it here alongside his own brilliant miniatures and Mahler’s heart-stopping Rückert songs.
5:15pm-6:15pm Comparing Notes (free to ticket holders): Do you enjoy a good chat about music? Comparing Notes is the SCO’s new informal and in-depth discussion group held in the Scottish Music Centre at City Halls – not only does it offer you the chance to learn about some of the music before you hear it, but it also gives you the opportunity to reflect on the concerts, discuss them and lots more in future weeks. If you would like to join the group, please contact Kirsten Hunter on 0131 478 8353 or Kirsten.hunter@sco.org.uk
