Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor
Philip Higham Cello

SCO players and audiences always look forward to their concerts with their Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev – as lively as he is entertaining, he invariably brings fascinating insight into the music he directs.

Maxim is at the helm for a concert of much-loved classics this summer: Elgar’s youthful Serenade for Strings and all the tender warmth of Schumann’s Cello Concerto (with SCO Principal Cello Philip Higham), concluding with one of Beethoven’s most popular symphonies, the irrepressibly lively Seventh.


Kindly supported by Eriadne & George Mackintosh and Claire & Anthony Tait.
