The evening

Maxim Emelyanychev conductorNicola Benedetti violinPhilip Higham cello

To close the Season we invite you to an extraordinary evening centred on one of the jewels of the Romantic repertoire: Brahms’ magnificent Double Concerto, a work of sweeping grandeur and intimate dialogue between violin and cello. Nicola Benedetti, a long-time SCO collaborator, joins forces with the SCO’s own Principal Cello, Philip Higham in a thrilling partnership that promises musical drama and elegance.

Under the vibrant direction of Maxim Emelyanychev, the programme begins with Weber’s enchanting Oberon Overture and concludes with Schumann’s radiant Symphony No.3, a work that’s brimming with warmth and vitality.
