Sometimes art imitates life so closely that you can almost feel its breath. 鈥淲ith passion and desire鈥� wrote Tchaikovsky on the slow movement of his Fifth Symphony, and the whole piece is a struggle between love and despair, told in elegant waltzes, bittersweet songs and melody after sweeping melody.

Gemma New is always a popular guest conductor here in Scotland, and she knows exactly how to get to the heart of a masterpiece 鈥� whether Lera Auerbach鈥檚 fiery retelling of the myth of Icarus, or the shadows, secrets and burning truths of Shostakovich鈥檚 powerful First Violin Concerto. Rosanne Philippens is the soloist today: a violinist who believes that every note should convey emotion, and forge a connection.

This concert ends at approximately 5:10 pm
