Sylvander & Clarinda: A Song Cycle for Scots Song & Jazz Orchestra

The world premiere of a new work by Dave Milligan for an all-star jazz orchestra and featuring three of Scotland's greatest exponents of the songs of Robert Burns. The music is inspired by the private letters that document the illicit love affair between Sylvander and Clarinda, the pseudonyms Robert Burns and Agnes McLehose used for each other throughout their romantic correspondence. Incorporating some of Burns' own songs and poems, Milligan draws on the letters' explosive passion and intimacy that has intrigued and beguiled people for over 200 years.
