Musical InsightsJoin us for our free pre-concert talks before each concert at 6.45pm. Over the course of the Season you’ll hear from journalists, rSNO players and conductors, all giving their unique insights into the music being performed. plus don’t miss peter Oundjian and Thomas Søndergård giving post-concert talks in the auditorium in October.

Look out for the symbol throughout the brochure for details.

I’m so delighted to be here in Scotland and to welcome you to my first Season as Music Director of this magnificent orchestra, the RSNO.

I have long been anticipating this moment when we can reveal the many great concerts we’ve planned for you and start to share some wonderful music together.

For me, music is the ultimate universal language. There is something inexplicably magical about the process of bringing music to life and unveiling its secrets, its passions, its myriad expressions for the many listeners – of all generations – who are fascinated by this art form.

This Season we are delighted to welcome some of the world’s greatest artists to perform for you. violinist vadim Gluzman joins me to open the Season, rSNO favourite John Lill returns with Grieg’s piano Concerto, Neeme Järvi teams up with pianist Nikolai Lugansky, guitarist Miloš Karadaglić performs the beautiful Concierto de Aranjuez, and Truls Mørk performs Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

I’m particularly looking forward to sharing the extraordinary music of John adams with you in our two-part american Festival, performing Carmina Burana with the rSNO Chorus and Junior Chorus, and sharing the stage with Nicola Benedetti for the first time. I urge you not to miss our very special evening in March featuring Smetana’s Má vlast. We’ve commissioned the amazing artist James Westwater to create visuals for this performance – it’s sure to be a magical experience.

Of course, I’m not the only ‘new kid’ in town! The talented Thomas Søndergård will be visiting throughout the Season in his new role as principal Guest Conductor with music by Mahler, Sibelius, Berlioz and Stravinsky.

There’s so much to look forward to – I can’t wait to get started! Here’s to a wonderful Season!

Peter OundjianMusic Director

dear friends,

Welcome to the New Season

this orchestra has managed to achieve, and

thinking about the new possibilities is inspiring.

SeaSoN opeNer: ouNdjiaN CoNduCtS ShoStakoviChTime to celebrate! Glinka’s Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla has been called a musical firecracker – so what better way to launch peter Oundjian’s very first concert as RSNO Music Director? That’s just the start of this thrilling all-russian programme, which sweeps from the heart-melting song of Tchaikovsky’s violin Concerto – played by the superb vadim Gluzman – to the revolutionary fervour of Shostakovich’s mighty eleventh Symphony. Be there, as we raise a glass to a very special night for Scottish music.

It’s heady stuff: the stunning young pianist Natasha paremski provides the sparkle, while peter Oundjian and the full rSNO unleash the emotion. Britten’s bracing Sea Interludes open the floodgates.

From pastoral beginning to soul-stirring finish, new Principal Guest Conductor Thomas Søndergård takes us on Sibelius’ journey, while baritone roderick Williams takes us on Mahler’s – a tale of deceptively-tuneful heartbreak in a fairytale landscape, and a far cry from the concert’s opening: an ear-dazzling tribute to Hieronymus Bosch by Swedish maverick B Tommy andersson.

alSo SpraCh ZarathuStra“I mean to portray in music the whole story of the human race…” richard Strauss never did anything by halves, and if you’ve heard the sensational opening of Also sprach Zarathustra in 2001: A Space Odyssey, you’ll know to expect something extraordinary. Guest conductor Kazushi Ono has a passion for Strauss – but it’s not all blockbusters tonight, as pianist Saleem abboud ashkar brings his special poetry to one of Mozart’s loveliest concertos, while Prokofiev’s Cinderella gets things off to a fairytale start.

johN lill playS griegWinter warmers: Tchaikovsky was a nervous soul, and he was modest about his First Symphony. But audiences for over a century have fallen head-over-heels for its wintry sparkle and youthful freshness. The rSNO’s charismatic Assistant Conductor continues his love affair with the music of the north as keyboard legend John Lill plays Grieg’s hugely popular concerto. and if you enjoy Scandinavian Tv drama, you’ll be charmed by the unmistakably Swedish style of Lars-erik Larsson’s tuneful homage to Shakespeare.

Tonight, guest conductor dima Slobodeniouk and virtuoso pianist rudolf Buchbinder take us on an incredible journey through a turbulent age; from the stirring Leonore Overture No3 to the epic adventure of Beethoven’s “Heroic” Symphony – inspired by Napoleon, but dedicated to the cause of freedom. In between comes Beethoven’s darkest piano concerto, a moving reminder of the deeply romantic spirit behind that unstoppable energy.

Tchaikovsky didn’t just identify with him, he poured all his passion into this tremendous Manfred Symphony: sixty minutes of sweeping tunes, heart-pounding drama, and raw emotion. If you don’t know it, there’s no better guide than rSNO legend Neeme Järvi – just as no pianist plays Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto with more flair than the incomparable Nikolai Lugansky.

NEW HOMEnew ambItIons INSpIrING MuSIC FOr

SCOTLaNd aNd BeyONd

Music inspires us and plays a significant part in all our lives. It calms us and reassures us. It excites us, uplifts us and gives enjoyment. Your national symphony orchestra is a symbol of cultural excellence with a world- class reputation.

We now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build on this success with our plans for a new purpose-built home for the Orchestra alongside the Glasgow royal Concert Hall. Our centre will include a bespoke learning, education and community facility, a 600-seater auditorium and vastly improved rehearsal spaces. Cutting-edge digital technologies for recording, composing, and streaming music and learning programmes will ensure that we can encourage ever greater numbers of people across the length and breadth of Scotland to engage in music-making.

The plans for our new home are only the beginning. Our fundraising campaign is not just about a building. It is about what the building will enable your orchestra to deliver to the communities of Scotland. We have never been content to confine ourselves to the concert hall. With your involvement, we can surprise through our innovation and the impact of working together with many partners to engage our next generation of audiences.

Our task is urgent and exciting. We will need you to play your part in making our new ambitions happen.

To keep up to date on our plans and discover how you can invest in the future of the rSNO today, please visit rsno.org.uk/newhome

We hope that we can welcome your support and promise that we will reward you with being part of a success story.
