Beauty, passion and the miracles of nature – there’s no tale that an orchestra can’t tell, and there’s definitely no symphony quite like Tchaikovsky’s shattering Fourth. Raw tragedy, roof-raising triumph: it’s explosive stuff, so guest conductor Kristiina Poska begins with something a little more tranquil. Arvo Pärt’s haunting Cantus is the perfect complement to a wonderful new set of songs from Elena Langer, inspired by the songs of birds and the nature poetry of Glyn Maxwell. Experience musical history in the making.
There will be a 6pm pre-concert performance from the Music School of Douglas Academy which is free to ticket holders.
Tickets: £14, £21, £28, £34, £40 (Booking fees may apply. Discounts are available for under 18s, under 26s, mature students, unemployed patrons, patrons with disabilities and groups.)
