Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony

OVERVIEW

Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne takes traditional folk themes to a new level in PIVOT—a piece that embodies its name as the orchestra constantly “pivots” through the twists and turns of the music. Then, hear the bass in a new light as Principal Bass David Yavornitzky brings Koussevitzky’s Concerto for Double Bass to life, highlighting the rich notes of Russian romanticism. Finally, be swept away by Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony, a composition inspired by his visit to the rolling green highlands of Caledonia.
