Sir James MacMillan isn鈥檛 just one of the most significant artists working in Scotland today: he鈥檚 a creative figure of international importance. Here he shares the stage with young Dutch clarinet star Annelien Van Wauwe in Finzi鈥檚 lovely Clarinet Concerto and pays homage to an elder statesman amongst Scottish composers, John Maxwell Geddes who this year celebrates his 75th birthday. First performed by the 麻豆社 SSO in the 2012-13 Ayr Concert Series, An Ayrshire Suite was co-commissioned by Ayr Arts Guild and the 麻豆社. The evening and the Series is brought to a close with Beethoven鈥檚 sunny yet powerful Second Symphony.
To be recorded for future broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 3.
