SSO Plays Dvorak 8 & Mozart Piano
City Halls & Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow
From £6.00
Come watch the SSO perform the fantastic 8th symphony by Dvorak, as well as Mozart's 27th piano concerto!
Out of silence comes a quiet hymn. Suddenly the sun breaks through, the birds sing – and to a dancing rhythm and a flurry of drums, Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony is on its way. Sounds fun? This is music with a huge heart and a limitless supply of melodies, but it’s brimming over with poetry too, and Ryan Wigglesworth will savour every moment of this most life-affirming of Romantic symphonies.
The evening opens with a new commission from a young British composer of Czech heritage, and Mozart’s poetic final piano concerto, played by Imogen Cooper – a pianist for whom Mozart’s music has been a lifelong love story. “He has a special place in my heart”, she says, and when she plays, you can hear it.
