Repertoire Aurora, by Peter Eötvös
Description
Postponed from 2020, the ravishing Aurora by brilliant Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös gets its first UK performance, with the SCO’s own Principal Double Bass Nikita Naumov – a deeply expressive, charismatic player – as soloist. Eötvös surrounds the audience with sound in this exquisitely coloured concerto, inspired by contemplating the Northern Lights aboard a plane high above Alaska.
Followed by Mendelssohn Overture Die schöne Melusine and Haydn Symphony No 92 ‘Oxford’
Performers Nikita Naumov, Thomas Zehetmair
