    • BBC SSO: World Premiere by Lisa Illean

    Dates
    • 1 Feb 2024, 2 p.m., City Halls, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, Tickets
    Repertoire New Work, by Lisa Illean; Cello Concerto, by Edward Elgar; Symphony No.3, by Johannes Brahms
    Description

    “Free but happy” is the motto that Brahms gave to his Third Symphony, and it opens with all the freshness of a summer storm. What comes next is a musical landscape of rolling clouds, tender lullabies, and radiant sunsets: a haunting finish to a concert that’s all about light, shade, and deep feelings. If you thought Elgar’s popular Cello Concerto was merely the sound of green fields and rolling hills, think again, as cellist Dai Miyata – praised by critics for his “sublime beauty of tone” – joins Ryan Wigglesworth to uncover its troubled soul. And explore a new world of sound from the imagination of Lisa Illean, who creates music (it’s been said) from “exquisitely quiet shadows”.

    This concert ends at approximately 3:50pm.

    Performers BBC SSO, Ryan Wigglesworth, Dai Miyata
