Programme

Overview

Sir James MacMillan conducts the premiere of his evocative new euphonium concerto, an intimate tribute to his Ayrshire heritage and his grandfather’s legacy. The concert opens with Grażyna Bacewicz’s vibrant neoclassical concerto grosso and concludes with a seamless orchestral arrangement of Beethoven’s late quartet in seven uninterrupted movements. An inspiring evening of personal reflection and enduring masterpieces awaits.Join Sir James MacMillan onstage as he conducts his eloquent new euphonium concerto, a vivid homage to his Ayrshire origins and to the memory of his grandfather. The programme begins with Grażyna Bacewicz’s crisp mid-century concerto grosso, whose neoclassical poise and spirited dialogue between soloists and ensemble set a tone of bright anticipation. In MacMillan’s concerto, brass band sonorities intertwine with full orchestral richness, tracing a journey from coalfield community bands to modern symphonic breadth, brought to life by an expressive soloist. The evening concludes with an imaginative orchestral arrangement of Beethoven’s late quartet in seven uninterrupted movements, weaving a continuous thread of introspection and transcendence as the orchestra celebrates the bicentenary of his final masterpiece. Immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening where personal history, cultural resonance, and timeless genius converge.
