SCO 2023/24: Ravel Piano Concerto with Steven Osborne

Andrew Manze conductor

Steven Osborne piano

HONEGGER Pastorale d’été

RAVEL Piano Concerto in G

RAVEL Pavane pour une infante défunte

HAYDN Symphony No 87

Ravel effortlessly blends together raucous jazz and heartbreaking tenderness in his quicksilver Piano Concerto – and Edinburgh-based international piano virtuoso Steven Osborne is just the musician to convey the piece’s exquisite wit and sparkle.

Elsewhere in conductor Andrew Manze’s concert of poetry and playfulness, Ravel offers a touching tribute to an imagined Spanish princess, Honegger celebrates the beauty of the summertime Alps, and Haydn unleashes sonic glories in the last and most exuberant of his ‘Paris’ symphonies.

Fri 26 Apr, 7.30pm City Halls, Glasgow
