Driving rhythms and passionate lyricism combine to make Walton’s First Symphony one of the greatest of British symphonic works. It’s a piece that Martyn Brabbins and the BBC SSO have performed many times and on this special occasion they will surely give a performance to remember. Nicola Benedetti’s association with the orchestra goes back to her triumph in 2004’s BBC Young Musician of the Year, and she is a welcome birthday guest in the greatest of all violin concertos. No celebration of the orchestra’s first 75 years would be complete without some music that’s hot off the press. It comes from the pen of Helen Grime, one of the most brilliantly talented of the latest generation of Scottish composers.
Please note the early start time of this concert.
6.15pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Cellist Anthony Sayer reflects on over 40 years with the orchestra, since joining in 1969.
