Full Event Details
Discover the elegance and energy of the Classical era in this illuminating programme tracing the evolution of the symphony. Rachel Podger directs the Scottish Chamber Orchestra from the violin, opening with JC Bach’s Overture from Amadis de Gaule, music that charmed audiences and influenced a young Mozart. From there, we journey to Haydn’s Symphony No.99, a work of wit and sophistication that showcases the composer’s mastery of orchestral colour. The programme culminates in Beethoven’s Symphony No.1, a bold debut that hints at the revolutionary spirit to come.
