Opening Concert

Sibelius Rakastava
Mozart Sinfonia Concertante in E flat, K364
Beethoven Symphony No 3 ‘Eroica’

Scottish Chamber Orchestra

Mihaela Martin Violin
Nobuko Imai Viola
Ben Gernon Conductor

At its premiere Beethoven’s Eroica was described by one critic as “a daring, wild, fantasia of inordinate length and extreme difficulty of execution.” And it is a magnificent masterpiece to open this year’s festival.

Mozart’s wonderful Sinfonia Concertante introduces two of our distinguished Artists in Residence, and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra opens with a 150th birthday tribute to Sibelius, his atmospheric re-composition for strings of an early choral piece.
