RSNO SCOTTISHPOWER PROMS Usher Hall, Edinburgh. Thu 8—Sat 10 Jun;
Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow. Tue 20 Jun-Sat 1 Jul
Although there are a few untraditional elements in the RSNO's plans for after the summer. new ideas such as rush-hour concerts and naked classics are not likely to be seen in the comfortable familiarity of the annual summer proms season. Music for Everyone is the general theme, appealing to a broad range of tastes for three busy weeks in June. Popular classics. big band jazz. film music and. of course, the ever-popular Last Night are all there. ‘The whole idea is based on the concept of something for everybody,‘ says the orchestra's Chief Executive. Simon Woods. ‘If you were to walk down Glasgow's Buchanan Street and pick people at random, you‘d find something that each person would be interested in coming to hear.‘ Music Director Stephane Denéve conducts his first RSNO ScottishPower Proms concert. Appropriately
enough for the man who claims to have an ongoing love affair with his orchestra. the title is Passionate about Tchaikovsky. But the jewel in the series is the Scottish premiere of Howard Shore‘s symphonic version of the Oscar-winning soundtrack to Lord of the Rings. ‘lt‘s been done all over the world in over 200 performances.‘ explains Woods, ‘and has met with huge success everywhere. It's a really big extravaganza. a substantial evening, combining visual images with huge orchestra. vocal soloists and both the RSNO Chorus and Junior Chorus. We're expecting it to sell out quickly.‘ he says.
Ever alert to the RSNO's role as a national orchestra, the Last Night will include an opportunity for the audience to join in singing five different possible contenders for a Scottish national anthem. which will be subject to vote in an online poll. ‘There‘s no big philosophical statement we can make about the Proms.‘ says Woods. ‘It is what it is — a great series of strong programmes aimed at a broad audience.‘ (Carol Main)
