Summary
Patrick Hahn conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Usher Hall, featuring the UK premiere of David Fennessy's electric guitar concerto alongside works by Ravel and Stravinsky.
Why it's fantastic
This programme balances Ravel’s dizzying waltz with the primal, earth-shattering rhythms of Stravinsky’s most famous ballet. Between these heavyweights, local young musicians join the orchestra for the first British performance of a high-voltage electric guitar concerto, offering a rare chance to hear a modern instrument dominate a traditional concert stage.
