Salle: Aberdeen Music Hall

In a big challenge, the Scottish Ensemble players were included in the choreography in a cross-arts collaboration with Andersson Dance from Sweden in an innovative performance of the Goldberg Variations.

The Scottish Ensemble playfully challenged the audience to decide game-show style, which country’s string music won the night: Germany or Britain? Indeed, the concert was a game of two halves with Britain being represented by William Walton and Martin Suckling in the first and Germany by Leopold Hurt and Brahms in the second.
