We bring our season to a truly triumphal conclusion with the music of Gustav Mahler. His music has been firmly embedded in Sinfonia’s DNA since our first performance of this very symphony in 1972. Since then we have given nearly fifty performances of his nine completed symphonies — most recently in our highly acclaimed Edinburgh Festival account of the Ninth in 2024.
Our soloist in the beautiful Violin Concerto by Korngold, Madeleine Mitchell, has performed in fifty countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, USA and Russia. At home, Madeleine has appeared with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and at the BBC Proms and she has an acclaimed discography. The music critic of The Herald called her "a violinist in a million" after her wide-ranging recital in Glasgow from Mozart and Dvorak to the pieces written for her by James MacMillan.
We’re sure you will agree there is something for everyone in our forthcoming season and we much look forward to welcoming you to our exciting series of concerts!
