The lost dances of St Kilda echo and swirl on a sea breeze. A pianist places a chord into silence – and opens a new world of poetry and play, whilst Ludwig van Beethoven throws caution to the wind, in a symphony that feels like a huge, uninhibited burst of sunlight and laughter. Steven Osborne is the pianist, and RSNO’s leader Sharon Roffmann is the guiding spirit, in a concert that celebrates the sheer joy of making music with friends.
