Carmina Gadelica

Royal Conservatoire of Scotland: Academy Concert Hall100 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G2 3DB, United Kingdom
Dates/times in London time zone

The SCO’s internationally renowned Wind Soloists join forces with some of Scotland’s most accomplished young players for a kaleidoscopic concert of wit and wild imagination – with Mozart rediscovered amid some distinctively Scottish landscapes.

SCO Principal Flute André Cebrián follows in a centuries-old tradition in reworking music from Mozart’s sparkling operas for the velvety richness of a wind ensemble, while Jonathan Dove imagines The Marriage of Figaro taking place among the blooms and bushes of a very English garden.

By way of contrast, Sir James MacMillan explores an Irish love song in his early, rarely heard Untold, while SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld takes inspiration from Gaelic hymns, incantations and songs in his striking new wind dectet, Carmina Gadelica.

In partnership with Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
