Approved

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth invite you to explore orchestral works by some of today’s most exciting composers. Festival Director Nicola Benedetti – a champion of contemporary classical music – and acclaimed broadcaster Tom Service will present this event.

At the heart of the concert is Hans Abrahamsen’s orchestral song cycle Let me tell you, in which Shakespeare’s Ophelia tells her own story. This multi-award-winning work was rated the greatest classical composition of the 21st century by the The Guardian in 2019. It is performed by soprano Jennifer France, a leading interpreter of contemporary music.

The programme will also feature Helen Grime’s ‘stunning’ (The Herald) nature-inspired Virga, Elizabeth Ogonek’s colourful and dramatic as though birds and Mark-Anthony Turnage’s expressionist masterpiece Three Screaming Popes – a tribute to the intense paintings of Francis Bacon.
