Maxim's 'Eroica'

Maxim Emelyanychev       conductor
Maximiliano Martín            clarinet
Max Mandel                             viola

Join the birthday celebrations! Maxim Emelyanychev sets out for an unforgettable evening of joy and passion as he brings the Scottish Chamber Orchestra to Aberdeen as part of a very special 50th anniversary tour of the nation—in some of the biggest-hearted, most compelling music around.

Beethoven’s majestic ‘Eroica’ Symphony provides a rousing, soul-lifting climax to the festivities, while SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld—one of Scotland’s most exciting and original voices—unveils a brilliantly coloured new piece written specially for the occasion.

In between, SCO Principal Clarinet Maximiliano Martín joins Principal Viola Max Mandel in Max Bruch’s tender, intimate Double Concerto, written for his clarinettist son, and every bit as richly Romantic as the composer’s famed Violin Concerto No.1

*Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and with generous support from the Vaughan Williams Foundation.
