A New Year's concert of Johann Strauss's waltzes, polkas and romances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by Celia Llácer with soprano Emma Morwood.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra bring their Viennese New Year to the Perth Concert Hall on Saturday 9 January, with the music starting at 19:00 in the Gannochy Trust Auditorium. It's a celebration of Johann Strauss, Vienna's most famous son, and the friends he wrote with, so the whole evening is built around his work.
The programme is a mix of elegant waltzes, playful polkas and old-fashioned romance, with the waltzes and polkas taking centre stage. It's Strauss in the way most of us know him: the sweeping melodies and the light, danceable rhythms that made him a household name. The RSNO will be conducted by Celia Llácer, and soprano Emma Morwood joins them on stage, so there'll be singing alongside the orchestral pieces.
The concert is part of the Perth Concert Series, a joint promotion by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with Perth Theatre and Concert Hall. If you're a subscriber to the series, you save on other orchestral concerts throughout the season, so this is one of several dates they're running together.
