Louise Fryer presents a 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra concert given just last week. Nicholas Collon, Principal Conductor of the Aurora Orchestra, conducts Richard Strauss's epic tone-poem of decay and rebirth, Death and Transfiguration.
Then he and the 麻豆社 SSO are joined by soprano Lauren Flanigan for the UK premiere of Philip Glass's Sixth Symphony, as part of Glass's 75th birthday celebrations. His Sixth Symphony, an impassioned setting of Allen Ginsberg's protest poem Plutonian Ode, an outcry against nuclear contamination and pollution. The symphony follows an arc from outrage and condemnation to spiritual and personal transformation.
