Meet our Soloist
Sophie Askew
As one of Scotland's most experienced and versatile harpists, when Sophie suggested performing Jennifer Higdon Harp Concerto, the answer was a firm YES!
We can't wait to hear her perform the unique sounds of this contemporary masterpiece!

Have a great weekend @StirlingOrch - You can see them in Oban on Saturday and Stirling on Sunday.

Amy Beach makes the list.... It's a fantastic symphony and the @interludeHK obviously agree!
Happy birthday to composer Emilie Mayer, who was born #otd, 14 May 1812. To celebrate, here's an article from our archive featuring her Symphony No. 2. Here's why you should listen:
