Live from Glasgow’s City Halls, experience the thrill and grandeur of Tchaikovsky’s his Sixth Symphony, a work saturated in emotion and packed with great tunes. But you’ll have your hankies out well before then as Scots mezzo Karen Cargill sings Korngold’s luscious Songs of Farewell. And the orchestra’s Associate Conductor Alpesh Chauhan opens the concert with a work Schoenberg took 33 years to complete, a wonderful showcase for some of our brilliant principal players.
