About this concert

Ryan Wigglesworth makes his first Aberdeen appearance since being appointed the ´óÏó´«Ã½ SSO’s Chief Conductor Designate, with a programme steeped in folk traditions. Sir James MacMillan’s depiction of persecution and redemption in 17th-century Scotland has become a modern classic since the ´óÏó´«Ã½ SSO gave the premiere in 1990. And when Czech listeners first experienced Dvořák’s Seventh they recognised the music of their homeland and heard it as a drama of national reawakening – but you don’t need Bohemian blood to be swept along by its passion and glorious melodies. As contrast to these tumultuous orchestral visions, Mozart’s first Flute Concerto, an elegant, under-appreciated gem performed here by the outstanding flautist Adam Walker.
