Scottish Chamber Orchestra – Beethoven & Strauss (with Jonathon Heyward)

September 15th 2023 at 19:30 – 21:30 BST

Two of the SCO’s most accomplished principal players join fast-rising US conductor Jonathon Heyward in a concert of fairytale magic and sunny optimism.

Mendelssohn meets the Little Mermaid in the watery evocations of his captivating The Fair Melusine Overture, while the Fourth is Beethoven’s most cheerful Symphony, brimming with good humour and upbeat tunes.

In between, SCO Principal Clarinettist Maximiliano Martín and Principal Bassoonist Cerys Ambrose Evans are joint soloists in the last instrumental piece that Richard Strauss composed: the Duet-Concertino reflects wittily on a lifetime of musical creativity.
