Scottish Chamber Orchestra with Francois Leleux (Oboe/Conductor) and Carolyn Sampson (Soprano) - Free-£20

Scottish Chamber Orchestra
François Leleux (conductor/oboe*)
Carolyn Sampson (soprano)

Mozart: Symphony no. 25 in G minor
Berlioz: Cantata – Herminie
Mozart, arr Leleux: Arias for oboe from The Magic Flute*
Ravel: Ma mère l'oye (Mother Goose)

François Leleux is one of the most passionate musicians performing today, and his much-loved concerts leading the SCO are sophisticated, intense and gloriously exuberant.

He's joined by celebrated British soprano Carolyn Sampson for Berlioz's vivid but rarely heard Crusades cantata Herminie — in which the composer first tried out the Symphonie Fantastique's most famous melody. Leleux translates singing into playing in his own witty oboe arrangements of arias from Mozart's best-loved comic opera, alongside the gripping drama of the same composer's Symphony no. 25 and exquisite fairy-tale evocations from Ravel.

Admission: £20, £18 (senior citizens), £10.00 (disabled), £6.00 (students, unemployed & U26), FREE (U18s)
