What's On: Event Details

Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 09:10 : Beethoven and Brahms

Friday 13th November 2009, 7.30pm

City Halls : Grand Hall

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

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

Olari Elts directs two late-Romantic symphonies this season – Brahms here, and Sibelius in April.

This is the SCO grown as big as it gets but without sacrificing that close-up energy and attention to the subtleties that make it so special. Beethoven’s Violin Concerto offers a wonderful contrast to the previous week’s piano concerto, as luminous and poised as the other is brilliant and fiery.

6pm-7pm: 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
