James Lowe: conductor; Paul Rissmann: presenter

There are few things more satisfying than really getting to grips with a piece of music, so that you can listen to it with greater understanding and insight. For years now, the SCO’s Masterworks performances have been offering just such an opportunity to schools’ audiences all around Scotland – this year, one performance is open to all. Assisted by the full Orchestra, Paul Rissmann takes James MacMillan’s terrific score Tryst apart before your very ears and put it back together in such a way that the full performance that follows is all the more enjoyable and rewarding.

Tryst will also be performed as part of the Homecoming programme on 28 November at The Queen’s Hall.
