Programme

Escape into a Vision of Heaven.

Join us to celebrate the beginning of our 2023/24 Concert Season at Glasgow City Halls!

It begins like a fairy tale. A jangle of sleighbells, a flurry of birdsong from the flutes – and is that a melody by Mozart? Not quite: Mahler said that he imagined pure blue skies when he composed his Fourth Symphony. But the Fourth has depths as poignant and profound as anything he ever wrote, and with soprano Sally Matthews joining our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth, it’ll make a blissful ending to this concert.

Before this, there’s the soaring Heroic Overture by Mahler’s Viennese contemporary Johanna Müller-Hermann and the great Scottish pianist, Steven Osborne, performs Ryan Wigglesworth’s own, brilliantly imaginative Piano Concerto. A performance doesn’t get more definitive than this.

This concerts ends at approximately 9:20pm.
