Join Maxim and the SCO musicians for an electrifying and emotional conclusion to the Season – with one of the most cherished symphonies of them all.

While teaching in New York, Antonín Dvořák was influenced by traditional American tunes to conjure the grandeur and epic vision of his ‘New World’ Symphony, an inspiring celebration of new discoveries and new possibilities.

Just as joyfully, Maxim is joined by exceptional Scottish musicians Steven Osborne and Aaron Akugbo for the wild switchback ride of Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.1, a dazzling mix of virtuoso keyboard fireworks and boisterous trumpet tunes blending razor-sharp humour and moving pathos. We start, though, with Shostakovich’s brightest, happiest, and most optimistic Symphony.
