About this Concert
鈥淭he world turns on its dark side. It is winter鈥︹€� Music speaks to us most directly when it engages with its times 鈥� and 90 years ago, few young composers understood that better than Michael Tippett. Composed during the Second World War but provoked by decades of intolerance, A Child of Our Time feels as urgent now as it did then, and with Ryan Wigglesworth conducting the National Youth Choir of Scotland, it鈥檒l make an unforgettable climax to the 成人快手 SSO鈥檚 90th Anniversary Concert.
First, though, something entirely new from the irrepressible imagination of Ayanna Witter-Johnson 鈥� and pianist extraordinaire Sir Stephen Hough brings all his heart and soul to a piano concerto that never grows old.
