When the RSNO comes to play, everyone is welcome! Join presenter Gillian Moore as she introduces young and old alike to the wonders of classical music with Scotland’s National Orchestra.
Sometimes genius runs in the family. Gustav Holst’s St Paul’s Suite blew like fresh air into the polite world of British music; a cheerful collision of folkdance and pure imagination. But Gustav’s daughter Imogen was a composer too, and thanks to conductor Alice Farnham she’s finally getting her place in the sun.
Gillian Moore introduces two evergreen classics of British music plus a bracing, dance-inspired new work from Cecilia McDowall, just to set things spinning.
In Stirling, the concert will be opened by the young musicians of Big Noise Fallin, performing Susato’s Battle Pavan (arr. Alan Fernie) and Henry VIII’s Pastime With Good Company (arr. Adrian Taylor). They will be performing alongside the RSNO’s Principal Bass Trombone Alistair Sinclair as well as Danielle Price (Tuba) and Emily Mitchell (Trumpet).
