Imagine this. A dazzling, thought-provoking spread of orchestral music from a new generation of Scottish talent.
When Sir James MacMillan speaks, the world takes notice 鈥� and at his Ayrshire community music festival, The Cumnock Tryst, he鈥檚 helping a generation of composers find their own individual voice. Tonight, he conducts the first Scottish performance of Ghosts, his new concerto for orchestra. Judging from that title (and knowing MacMillan鈥檚 passionate belief in the communicative power of music), there鈥檚 every reason to expect a lot more than just a colourful workout for a full symphony orchestra. MacMillan introduces it himself and also presents a dazzling, thought-provoking spread of new music from his younger colleagues at The Cumnock Tryst: a vibrant, typically generous celebration of the state of the art in Scottish classical music.
This concert ends at approximately 9:25pm.
