Note:
Nézet-Séguin enjoyed huge success when he last appeared with the SCO – and since then his career has gone stratospheric. Now, with major appointments on both sides of the Atlantic, he’s in great demand and the SCO has been deft enough to secure him for two weeks this Season. He continues the Mendelssohn theme with the uplifting Reformation Symphony.
There will be a pre-concert talk at 6.30pm (free to ticket holders) entitled Mendelssohn 200 in which Dr Fiona Elliott gives a cultural perspective of Mendelssohn and his time.
