Scottish Chamber Orchestra - The Romantic Age

Musically, the 19th century was a golden era. To this day, its music brings the age of Romanticism alive: that time of sweeping change, tumult, war, revolution and passion is celebrated in this concert.

Berlioz wrote King Lear a year after his Symphonie Fantastique: it is easily as vivid and dramatic, full of grand-guignol tumult, but pathos and tragedy too. It makes a powerful complement to Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony, which Ticciati conducts for the first time in Scotland.

Don’t miss the SCO Season debut of the young German violinist Veronika Eberle: currently a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, she inspires reviews extolling her ‘star quality’ and ‘electrifying’ performance’.
