The Scottish Chamber Orchestra, known for its exceptional performances and its extensive, multi-award-winning recordings, will perform with violinist Nicola Benedetti in the next Cornell Concert Series (CCS) concert, Saturday, Oct. 15 at 3 pm in Bailey Hall.
BBC Music Magazine has called the Orchestra “one of the finest ensembles of its kind in the world today.” A reviewer in The Courier describes it as “both dazzling and intimate, effervescent and ethereal... you have to take your hat off to this fabulous ensemble who make chamber music on a grand scale seem like child’s play.”
The Orchestra’s repertoire ranges from re-imagining the classical masters and romantic greats to contemporary commissions. This tour highlights Benedetti, a treasured talent in her native Scotland, and features Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury, Bruch’s Violin Concerto, and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, “Scottish.”
