To The Max

John Archer Memorial Concert at Heriot Watt tonight.

Shostakovich: Festival Overture

Poulenc: Gloria with sublime soprano Yasmin Hill (hence the vacated choir seats in the blip).

A wonderful piece by the conductor, Steve King, with amazing clarinet soloist Jean Osborne and percussionist Iain Drummond.

Massive finish with Maxwell Davies, An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise. The last time I heard this live, Peter Maxwell Davies was in the audience.

The blip shows the bagpipes that are part of the sunrise. An encore of the sunrise was essential.

What a nice way to spend an evening.
