As part of a day celebrating the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Performing Groups’ contribution to Radio 3’s 70 years of pioneering music and culture since the founding of the Third Programme, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO presents an hour-long concert showcasing Scottish composition from the last three decades.
Stuart MacRae and Anna Meredith were composers associated with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO between 1999 and 2006, so the concert opens with MacRae’s Stirling Choruses (a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Commission from 1999) and includes Meredith’s work fringeflower. Judith Weir’s Music, Untangled, meanwhile, is a work inspired in part by a traditional melody sung by women cloth-workers in Barra. The concert is conducted by Sir James MacMillan whose famous breakthrough work The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, another original commission for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and first performed at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms in 1990, closes the concert.
Making Waves will be broadcast live on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3.
Tickets: Free, limited to 2 tickets per application. Venue booking fees of £1.00 (online) or £1.50 (phone) may apply.
Please note there will be no interval in this concert. The concert will end at 3pm.
