Summary
Jörg Widmann conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Aberdeen's Music Hall, doubling as soloist for his own Danse macabre and a Mendelssohn arrangement before the Scottish Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Jörg Widmann takes on a double role for this evening, leading the ensemble through his own haunting compositions before picking up the clarinet himself. You will hear how Mendelssohn translated the mist and jagged ruins of Holyrood into a symphony, alongside a gentle arrangement of the composer’s lyric woodwind sonata.
