A 150th birthday celebration for composers Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius! SCO Principal Clarinet Maximiliano Martín is a hugely charismatic player and will embrace the vibrant yet devilish Clarinet Concerto by the Dane Carl Nielsen, who was one of the most original and brilliant musical minds of the 20th century. John McLeod draws a flavour of this same work in Out of the Silence. Sibelius’ Fourth Symphony evokes the organic beauty of Finland.

John McLeod's new work is being generously supported with funds from The Bill and Margaret Nicol Charitable Trust, RVW Trust and the Cruden Foundation.

Program:

John McLeod: Out of the Silence

Jean Sibelius: Symphony No 4
