at Holy Trinity Church, St Andrews 7.30pm – £26.00 / £21.00 / £15.00 / £13.00 / £10.50 / £7.50 / £6.00 ANNA CLYNE Sound and FuryϮ DANI HOWARD Saxophone Concerto* GEORGE WALKER Lyric for Strings CAROLINE SHAW Entr’acte DAVE HEATH The Celtic* JOHN HARLE Rant!* Ben Glassberg conductor Jess Gillam saxophones* An inspiring fixture on radio and TV, Cumbrian-born Jess Gillam is first and foremost a world-class saxophonist. She brings her invigorating musical personality to a typically adventurous collection of music across diverse styles and sounds. Young British composer Dani Howard wrote her effervescent new Saxophone Concerto specially for Gillam, while Dave Heath throws you into the whirling energy of a raucous ceilidh in his galvanising concerto The Celtic. Haydn provides the calmer inspiration for Anna Clyne’s scintillating Sound and Fury, written for the SCO in 2019, and also for Caroline Shaw’s mercurial Entr’acte. The great African American composer George Walker, meanwhile, regularly moved listeners to tears with his deeply moving Lyric for Strings. Ϯ Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra
