On a welcome return visit to Dumfries and Galloway the Scottish Chamber Orchestra presents:
Haydn Symphony No 94 ‘Surprise’ , Szymanowski Violin Concerto No 2 and Stravinsky’s Orpheus.
Tickets: £16 (£14 Senior Citizens, £5 Full Time Students and Unemployed) People with a disability and a carer are entitled to 50% off standard ticket price
Available from: dgArts, Midsteeple, Dumfries – 01387 253383 or on-line
The Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, Robin Ticciati, gives his first performance in Dumfries. The story of Haydn lulling an unsuspecting audience to sleep then jolting them awake with a loud ‘SURPRISE’ chord is probably too good to be true, but doesn’t diminish this symphony’s charm or impact. In Orpheus Stravinsky retells the Greek myth of the hero’s journey to the Underworld, and brilliant French violinist Renaud Capuçon performs Szymanowski’s sumptuous violin concerto.
PLEASE NOTE – the pre-concert talk by Jennifer Martin which was to have been held at the Aston hotel at 3pm – 4.30pm has been cancelled.
