Schumann & Schubert by Beethoven, Schumann, Montgomery, Jessie, Schubert, Dv. 28 Març 2025, De (2025/2025), Director musical Isabelle van Keulen, Holy Trinity Church, St Andrews, United Kingdom

Matching vibrant, vivid performances with searching insights, Dutch-born Isabelle van Keulen is a global violin superstar. She joins the SCO as soloist and director for a concert focused around the exquisitely lyrical Violin Concerto by Robert Schumann – a delicate piece from the composer’s troubled final years, and until, recently rarely-performed. The Third Symphony from the 18-year-old Franz Schubert provides all the youthful drama and comedy you might expect. There’s stormier drama in Beethoven’s ancient Rome-inspired Coriolan Overture, as well as dazzling colours in the effervescent Starburst from one of today’s most exciting composers, Jessie Montgomery.
