Marin Alsop : conductor 

Following her acclaimed appearances with the BBC SSO at the 2021 Edinburgh International Festival, Marin Alsop returns with a programme steeped in folk traditions. Sir James MacMillan’s depiction of persecution and redemption in 17th century Scotland has become a modern classic since the BBC SSO gave the premiere in 1990. Christopher Rouse’s elegiac Flute Concerto, meanwhile, is also influenced by traditional Celtic music and was hailed as ‘a masterpiece’ by The Herald.  Adam Walker is the soloist. And when 19th-century Czech listeners first experienced Dvořák’s Seventh they recognised the music of their homeland and heard it as a drama of national reawakening – but you don’t need Bohemian blood to be swept along by its passion and glorious melodies.
