Welcome back to the 成人快手 SSO鈥檚 first concert in Aberdeen since February 2020. And as if to balance all those days we鈥檝e spent inside, here鈥檚 a concert full of energy that paints pictures of the outdoors. We set sail with Mendelssohn鈥檚 famous depiction of his boat trip to Staffa, music of grandeur that rises and falls in time with the waves.

Akutagawa鈥檚 Triptyque for string orchestra is propelled by driving rhythms and echoes of Stravinsky, Britten, and the composer鈥檚 friend Shostakovich. So you鈥檒l be raring to go by the time conductor Yutaka Sado leads us on a cross-country ramble (uncertain weather and all) through Beethoven鈥檚 Sixth Symphony, the musical equivalent of inhaling lungfuls of fresh air.
