Donald Runnicles 60th Birthday Concert

From City Halls, Glasgow, 大象传媒 SSO under Donald Runnicles with the Edinburgh Festival Chorus and leading soloists. Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante in E flat. Beethoven: Symphony No 9.

Live from City Halls, Glasgow

Presented by Jamie MacDougall

Celebrating the 60th birthday of their Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's indomitable 9th Symphony - that composer's ultimate symphonic achievement and testament to the triumph of creative ambition. The famous 'Ode To Joy' is performed this evening by the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, an august organisation of which Donald Runnicles is a former member, and a quartet of international soloists closely associated with the world of opera so hugely beloved of this conductor.

And to begin, the Leader and Principal Viola of the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra take centre stage to perform as joint soloists in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, a fitting tribute to ongoing and fruitful musical relationships.
