National Youth Orchestra of Scotland
National Youth Orchestra of ScotlandPresented by Saffron Hall
Berlioz’s thrilling work is one of the Romantic era’s high water marks, a gripping fever-dream of a symphony. When suave elegance and pastoral idyll give way to witches’ sabbath and a truly terrifying march to the scaffold we are torn between sitting on the edge of our seats and hiding behind them!
Young Scottish accordionist Ryan Corbett is an astonishing talent, winning new admirers and raising the profile of his instrument with his dazzling playing, creativity and infectious enthusiasm. He plays an intriguing new work inspired by the macabre experiments of an 18th century physician. The sounds of a Parisian café accordion are mimicked by the ever-imaginative Anna Clyne within her tone poem inspired by the poetry of Baudelaire. It’s a suitably evocative start to a wild and colourful journey in the company of Scotland’s finest young musicians.
