Programme

About this event

Donald Runnicles conducts the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Vadim Repin in James MacMillan鈥檚 Violin Concerto. Written for Repin鈥檚 big-boned Russian sound and premiered in 2010, the concerto is threaded through with allusions to the traditional fiddle music and Scottish laments that MacMillan regards as the 鈥榓ncient modes of expression and storytelling鈥�.

The concentrated drama of Beethoven鈥檚 1807 鈥楥oriolan鈥� overture acts as an up-beat to his Fifth Symphony, its opening four-note motif as arresting today as it was in 1808.

Watch and listen to new music at the Proms.
