The start of a new season is always a big occasion, and for this one we’re bringing together our Music Director Peter Oundjian, Nicola Benedetti and three pieces that simply overflow with emotion. As vast as Russia and as passionate as a love-song, Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony might just be the most romantic symphony ever written. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, meanwhile has both poetry and fireworks. With Scotland’s best-loved violinist as soloist, it’ll light up the sky!
