Martyn Brabbins has been working with the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra for thirty years - so to celebrate he and the orchestra perform a concert at City Halls in Glasgow with music by two contemporary composers of whom he's been a great supporter: Errollyn Wallen's new reworking of a score from 2000, 'The World's Weather'; and -with percussionist Evelyn Glennie- James MacMillan's blistering concerto 'Veni, veni, Emmanuel.'

And as part of Martyn and the orchestra's commitment to fostering new talent, they are joined by students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in a triumphant performance of Elgar's Symphony No. 1.
