FAURÉ Requiem (37’)
BERLIOZ Symphonie Fantastique (50’)

EMMANUEL KRIVINE Conductor

**Single tickets on sale Thursday 10th May at 10am**

RUDOLF ROSEN Baritone
SCO CHORUS
GREGORY BATSLEER Chorus Director

Passion rules in the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s Season Finale! Principal Guest Conductor Emmanuel Krivine brings an abundance of French panache in Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique: unrequited love, a ‘Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath’, an intense vision of hell, and a bizarre and fantastic ending. In contrast, Fauré’s Requiem offers gentleness and intimacy, radiant with consolation – gloriously delivered by the sublime SCO Chorus and the soothing baritone of Rudolf Rosen.

CONNECT INSIGHTS, 6.30pm:
Fantastic Tales - Join storyteller Claire Hewitt and SCO Clarinet William Stafford as they conjure up Berlioz’s dark world of witchcraft and obsession. Presented in collaboration with the Scottish Storytelling Centre

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for SCO: Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
