Baton to be raised on Scarborough Symphony Orchestra's new season - here's the programme
The Scarborough Symphony Orchestra opens its new season with a concert of emotional resonance and spiritual reflection at Queen Street Methodist Hall later this month.
Under the baton of musical director Shaun Matthew, the occasion promises to be an unforgettable journey through some of the most moving works in the orchestral repertoire.
Theconcert is the first in Shaun’s 20th anniversary season with the orchestra
The concert includes Rachmaninov’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor. Performed by the orchestra’s friend and internationally celebrated Steinway artist Yuki Negishi, the work is a cornerstone of the concerto repertoire and a work renowned for its sweeping passion and lyrical beauty.
The evening continues with two powerful, spiritually inspired works: Jeremiah, based on the Old Testament book, and Andrzej Panufnik’s Sinfonia Sacra inspired by Bogurodzica, the earliest known Polish hymn.
The concert opens with Sir James MacMillan’s Larghetto for Orchestra, a work which opens the listener to a world of solemnity, forgiveness, and optimism.
