Concert information

Sir James MacMillan isn鈥檛 just one of the most significant artists working in Scotland today: he鈥檚 a creative figure of international importance. Any premiere by MacMillan is a major occasion, but his Fourth Symphony takes the Scottish renaissance composer Robert Carver as a starting point for a musical journey of far-reaching power and beauty. 鈥淢acMillan鈥檚 new symphony holds a candle to Mahler鈥 wrote The Arts Desk of the world premiere in 2015; in this first Scottish performance, MacMillan himself conducts 鈥 and shares the stage with young Dutch clarinet star Annelien Van Wauwe in Finzi鈥檚 lovely concerto, and the cosmic vision of an elder statesman amongst Scottish composers, John Maxwell Geddes who celebrates his 75th birthday this year.

This concert is part of a month-long celebration in Glasgow of recent works by Sir James MacMillan in partnership with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Hebrides Ensemble and Glasgow Life.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
