SCO - Schumann Cello Concerto
MENDELSSOHN Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage SCHUMANN Cello Concerto WIDMANN Albumblätter (UK Premiere) DEBUSSY Petite Suite
Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor Philip Higham Cello
From a daring maritime adventure to a captivating showcase for the soulful cello – in the company of vibrant Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev and exceptional SCO Principal Cello Philip Higham.
An esteemed international soloist as well as a pivotal SCO musician, Philip Higham takes centre-stage for the poetry and passion of Schumann’s entrancing Cello Concerto, written in a two-week burst of inspiration.
German composer Jörg Widmann pays affectionate homage to Schumann in his witty Albumblätter, receiving its first UK performances, while Debussy takes us dancing and sailing in his charming Petite Suite. Mendelssohn weighs the anchor for more distant shores, however, in his thrilling celebration of seafaring heroism.
