Maxim Emelyanychev conductor
Nicola Benedetti violin

Nicola Benedetti has performed Mendelssohn’s exhilarating Violin Concerto for many years. Bringing together sublime lyrical beauty and fizzing violin fireworks, the Concerto is the ideal showcase for the world-renowned Scottish violin virtuoso’s consummate talents. Discover Benedetti’s compelling, profoundly beautiful vision of the piece in the company of her long-time musical collaborators: the SCO’s exceptional musicians and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.

With its boundless fun and catchy tunes, Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture transports you to the heart of boisterous, joyful student life. Maxim closes this concert of Romantic riches with Brahms’ final symphony: its sonic grandeur and emotional depth can’t fail to inspire and move all who hear it.
