About this event

MENDELSSOHN Piano Concerto No.1 Symphony No.2 ̒Lobgesang’ Maxim Emelyanychev conductor Sir Stephen Hough piano Carolyn Sampson soprano Emma Morwood soprano Thomas Walker tenor SCO Chorus Gregory Batsleer chorus director Enjoy an evening of Romantic intensity as the SCO celebrates the music of Felix Mendelssohn. Sir Stephen Hough brings elegance and finesse to the Piano Concerto No.1, a work full of youthful energy and lyrical charm. The programme continues with Symphony No.2, ‘Lobgesang’, a fusion of orchestra, chorus and solo voices. Rich in melody and expressive depth, the music rises from a noble opening to an uplifting choral finale. Maxim Emelyanychev leads the SCO and SCO Chorus with three exceptional soloists.
