Sibelius' Fifth Symphony from Glasgow
The 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra are joined by Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth and horn player Stefan Dohr for music by Beethoven, Sibelius and Hans Abrahamsen.
鈥淕od, what beauty!鈥�. Once upon a time in Finland, Sibelius saw a flight of swans and felt his imagination take wing. That鈥檚 the story behind the unforgettable horn theme that crowns his Fifth Symphony: music as astonishing, and as inevitable, as nature itself. Those vaulting horns are a spine-tingling way to end the 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's 2025/26 concert season. So what could be more natural than Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth inviting Stefan Dohr, a legend among living horn players, to perform another Scandinavian masterpiece: the playful, utterly original concerto that the SSO's Composer in Association (and master-storyteller) Hans Abrahamsen wrote especially for him. Beethoven ties it all together, with wit, splendour and irrepressible life-force.
