Continuing a week of programmes featuring Scottish Orchestras and Ensembles

Popular violinist Nicola Benedetti makes a welcome return to City Halls with Sibelius' passionate concerto. The concert begins with the UK Premiere of a short piece by the young Swedish composer Benjamin Staern, music which takes its cue from its title Jubilate - a musical response to the phenomenon of spectators cheering with joy and the experience of being part of a powerful celebration. Staern's countryman Stefan Solyom closes this magnificent programme with Shostakovich's epic Tenth Symphony, the first he had composed since he was denounced by Stalin's regime in 1948. Completed soon after Stalin's death in 1953, the brutally brilliant scherzo is said to be a musical portrait of the Soviet tyrant.
