Sibelius Symphony No1 (38’)

Edward Gardner Conductor
Beth Taylor Mezzo-soprano
Paul Whittaker BSL Performer

Cleopatra, the fabled queen. Salomé, the ultimate temptress. Ophelia, Shakespeare’s gentle, lovelorn heroine. For the French composers Mel Bonis and Hector Berlioz, the great women of legend and literature were an endless source of inspiration, and tonight we’ll hear them come alive. Glasgow’s international award-winning mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor stars as the fearless queen of Egypt, before guest conductor Edward Gardner sweeps us off to Finland for the elemental power and glowing colours of Sibelius’ tempestuous First Symphony. Stirring stuff, performed with passion and style.

Beth Taylor’s residency is supported by George Ritchie
