Another chance to hear a recent highlight from the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra: a concert of eccentric musical imaginations.
The concert begins with orchestral music by Frank Zappa: the maverick experimenter. His uncharacterisable work The Perfect Stranger -commissioned by Pierre Boulez- gives us an insight into his unique brain.
This is followed by Julian Anderson's piano concerto 'The Imaginary Museum' - a concerto inspired, in part, by the improvisatory imagination of its dedicatee and tonight's solo performer, Steven Osborne.
And the concert concludes with a sequence of 4 symphonic works by that pioneer of American music, Charles Ives. A composer for whom nothing could stand in the way of his sonic and philosophical imagination.
