Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 09:10 : Symphonies of the North

City Halls : Grand Hall

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

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

” My pieces are abstract dramas in sound, with characters and an extremely dynamic chain of events; they unfold in a space that is constantly shifting, expanding and contracting…” A perfect characterisation of Sibelius’ symphonies? In fact, it is Erkki-Sven Tüür speaking of his own music. What affinities and contrasts may be revealed between symphonies written a century apart, from nations separated by only a thin strip of water – Finland and Estonia?

6.30pm Pre-concert talk (free to ticket holders): Erkki-Sven Tüür talks about his new symphony
