BBC Proms - Scottish Chamber Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall

Rameau Les Indes galantes – suite 24’
Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 5 in F major, ‘Egyptian’ 29’

Jay Capperauld Bruckner’s Skull 16’ 
Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor 31’

Alexandre Kantorow piano
Scottish Chamber Orchestra
Maxim Emelyanychev conductor 

The lure of the East runs through this Prom given by Maxim Emelyanychev and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. French pianist and star of the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, Alexandre Kantorow is the soloist in Saint- Saëns’s ‘Egyptian’ Piano Concerto – a vivid musical travelogue, lively with chirping crickets and croaking frogs – while a selection from Rameau’s ballet Les Indes galantes offers sonic snapshots from Peru, Turkey, Persia and America.

Fate knocks loudly at the door in Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, answered with defiant musical optimism, but it’s Death who gets the final word in Jay Capperauld’s Bruckner’s Skull.

Scottish Chamber Orchestra - The Great Grumpy Gaboon

Programme

  • CAPPERAULD

    The Great Grumpy Gaboon*

  • CORRINA CAMPBELL

    Story and illustrations

    Gordon Bragg Conductor

    Listen very carefully,
    Can you hear a sad tune?
    Those are the moans and the groans
    of The Great Grumpy Gaboon!

    Have you ever felt grumpy? That is exactly how the poor Gaboon feels – really, REALLY grumpy! While the Gaboon’s friends: Long-legged Lin, Fluey-Lu, Woolly Wello and Hoppity Boppit, try everything to cheer Gaboon up, none of them realise that the musical mischief maker, Screature, is lurking in the shadows of the orchestra.

    Screature holds the key to the Gaboon’s mood and only with the help of the All-Knowing Umpet, a wise and kindly creature, can the friends solve the mystery of the Gaboon’s grumps.

    Join the Grumpy Gaboon and friends on this brand-new musical adventure as together they discover the importance of friendship and forgiveness.

    After sell-out performances in Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow in 2024, these relaxed concerts are not to be missed and are ideal for children aged four to eight and their grown-ups.

    *Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra
