symphony In 2018 the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland explore The Power of Nature and celebrate how classical composers have been influenced by nature over the centuries, right up to the present day.

This spring NYOS Symphony Orchestra welcomes Rebecca Miller to the podium and together we present a programme full of natural wonder.

The Orchestra is also joined by the brilliant pianist James Willshire, to give the world premiere of a new co-commission written by the hugely talented Scottish composer Jay Capperauld.

After the interval, we return to one of the twentieth century’s greatest and most influential works, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, a groundbreaking ballet strengthened by a riot-worthy orchestral score.

“Bringing to the concert hall arguably the most critical issue of our time, I’m thrilled that NYOS has chosen The Power of Nature for its 2018 season. Our programme will feature one of the most powerful nature-inspired musical works of all time - Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring - which remains as earth-shattering as when it first shocked audiences in 1913 at its tumultuous premiere.” Conductor Rebecca Miller
