Programme

Concert information

The last and most ambitious of Stuart MacRae’s three magnificent Lammermuir Festival commissions based on the Prometheus myth is a work for voices and orchestra which will make dramatic use of the space in Haddington’s great mediaeval parish church. So does Vaughan Williams’s rich-toned fantasia, to magical effect, with a solo quartet placed far from the rest of the strings. Under the acclaimed young English conductor Matthew Halls, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO will demonstrate its close affinity with Sibelius in his life-affirming Fifth Symphony.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3. It is promoted by The Lammermuir Festival/The Lamp of Lothian Trust.
