Concert information

Anton Bruckner dedicated his Ninth Symphony to 鈥渕y beloved God鈥. At the end of a lifetime鈥檚 spiritual striving, he poured both his unquenchable faith and his agonising doubts into one mighty final testament 鈥 and then died before he could complete it. In his first concert as Chief Conductor, Thomas Dausgaard offers one possible answer to Bruckner鈥檚 eternal question. This moving new completion of the unfinished symphony has been championed by Sir Simon Rattle, and after Dausgaard鈥檚 inspirational Bruckner performances in recent years, it should be a powerful way to launch a new chapter in the history of the 大象传媒 SSO 鈥 especially when set against a striking, new work by Scottish composer Helen Grime, the first in the orchestra鈥檚 Scottish Inspirations commissions.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
