Imagine this. A dazzling, thought-provoking spread of orchestral music from a new generation of Scottish talent.
When Sir James MacMillan speaks, the world takes notice – and at his Ayrshire community music festival The Cumnock Tryst, he’s helping a generation of composers to find their own individual voice. Tonight he conducts the first Scottish performance of Ghosts, his new concerto for orchestra. Judging from that title (and knowing MacMillan’s passionate belief in the communicative power of music), there’s every reason to expect a lot more than just a colourful workout for a full symphony orchestra. MacMillan introduces it himself, and also presents a dazzling, thought-provoking spread of new music from his younger colleagues at The Cumnock Tryst: a vibrant, typically generous celebration of the state of the art in Scottish classical music.
