Scotland In Music

Celebrating Scotland’s classical world, Jamie MacDougall highlights the work of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra in concert and other Scottish artists and ensembles.

Performances of Robert Burns songs by the Aberdeen Chamber Choir and the National Youth Choir of Scotland, and Martyn Bennett’s Mackay’s Memoirs played by the City of Edinburgh Music School at the opening ceremony of the new Scottish Parliament. The North Sea inspires a work by Sally Beamish called Seavaigers, played by the Scottish Ensemble with fiddler Chris Stout and harper Catriona Mackay, and folk songs lie behind Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy, performed by Nicola Benedetti with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ SSO and conductor Rory MacDonald. In a special 50th anniversary album release, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra join conductor Maxim Emelyanychev for Mendelssohn’s symphony inspired by his travels across the country to Glen Coe, Melrose and Oban.
