大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Sir James MacMillan's Symphony No 4 is amongst the most ambitious large-scale orchestral works to emerge in the first quarter of the 21st century: a philosophical journey exploring everything of which an orchestra is capable. First performed at the 大象传媒 Proms in 2015, and dedicated to the 大象传媒 SSO's then chief conductor Donald Runnicles, this concert features the composer himself at the helm.

The concert opens with music by a fellow Scottish composer, John Maxwell Geddes, whose work 'Voyager' is performed to mark the composer's 75th birthday. And between these 2 Scottish works clarinettist and New Generation Artist Annelien Van Wauwe joins the orchestra to perform Finzi's English-Folksong-inspired Clarinet Concerto.
