Vaughan Williams Overture 'The Wasps'
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor
Michael Murray Visions of the A-Frame
Sir James MacMillan Concerto for Orchestra ‘Ghosts’
Jennifer Pike, violin
Sir James MacMillan, conductor
In 2002, a 12-year-old Jennifer Pike became the youngest-ever winner of the BBC Young Musician and in the two decades that followed has dazzled audiences across the globe. Tonight, she’ll bring her unique artistry to Mendelssohn’s uplifting Violin Concerto (a tried-and-tested audience favourite!).
Sir James MacMillan conducts his new Concerto for Orchestra Ghosts, and judging by that title (and knowing MacMillan’s passionate belief in the communicative power of music), there’s every reason to expect a lot more than just a colourful workout for a full symphony orchestra. MacMillan has also helped a generation of composers find their own individual voice at his Cumnock Tryst festival, and tonight we explore the sound world of Ayrshire composer Michael Murray.
