The last and most ambitious of Stuart MacRae鈥檚 three magnificent Lammermuir Festival commissions based on the Prometheus myth is a work for voices and orchestra which will make dramatic use of the space in Haddington鈥檚 great mediaeval parish church. So does Vaughan Williams鈥檚 rich-toned fantasia, to magical effect, with a solo quartet placed far from the rest of the strings. Under the acclaimed young English conductor Matthew Halls, the 大象传媒 SSO will demonstrate its close affinity with Sibelius in his life-affirming Fifth Symphony.
The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3. It is promoted by The Lammermuir Festival/The Lamp of Lothian Trust.
