Concert information

Composed when he was just 15, Mendelssohn’s First Symphony, already preceded by 12 symphonies for strings alone, clearly shows his assured handling of orchestral writing, even if there is more than just a nod to other composers, notably Mozart and Weber. Simon Johnson, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ SSO’s principal trombone, gives the UK Premiere of Tapias, Spanish-born Francisco Coll’s fascinating concerto for trombone. Otto Tausk follows this with an old favourite, Beethoven’s eternally fresh Seventh Symphony, famously dubbed by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’.
