MacMillan Veni, Veni Emmanuel
Usher Hall
Edinburgh
Scotland
John Storgårds Conductor
Colin Currie Percussion
Rosie Staniforth Cor Anglais
Vaughan Williams’ timeless Fantasia and Sibelius’ uplifting sixth symphony frame one of the SCO’s signature works. Back in 1992, they premiered MacMillan’s Veni, Veni Emmanuel at the BBC Proms, and it has since been played more than 400 times! Scottish percussionist Colin Currie has made the piece his own and hearing him is a thrilling experience. This will be a night of drama and riches. Before the concert SCO Chief Executive Roy McEwan will discuss how to programme an SCO Season, and commissioning new works.
Pre-concert talk 6.45pm (Free to ticket holders)

Shankar Plays Shankar
Usher Hall
Edinburgh
Scotland
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Kristjan Järvi Conductor
Anoushka Shankar Sitar
From the Beatles to the world’s greatest orchestras, Ravi Shankar was an artist who brought worlds together. His daughter Anoushka joins the RSNO for a rare performance of his ravishing Raga-Mala. It’s exactly the sort of vibrant musical discovery we’ve come to expect from Kristjan Järvi – but you haven’t heard the half of it, as Järvi introduces two hauntingly beautiful modern classics by Arvo Pärt. Instantly familiar from TV and film soundtracks, they’re even lovelier when performed live.
Pre-concert talk 6.45pm
Arvo Pärt : Fratres
Arvo Pärt : Symphony No3
Ravi Shankar : Raga-Mala (Sitar Concerto No2)
