Concert Information

Donald Runnicles and the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra are joined by the National Youth Choir of Scotland for Mozart鈥檚 ever-popular Requiem 鈥� the composer鈥檚 poignant and prescient anticipation of his own death.

Scottish composer John McLeod鈥檚 The Sun Dances is a glowing, iridescent work inspired by an Easter folk legend from the West of Scotland. At the centre of the programme is Beethoven鈥檚 Fourth Symphony, its muscular, structural elegance wound around a boisterous scherzo.
