About Meadows Chamber Orchestra, Peter Evans
The historic ambience of the Canongate Kirk is an appropriate setting for the premiere of James Clapperton’s ’Tomnaverie’. Commissioned by the MCO, it is based on the melody ’Tullyverie’ by Aboyne fiddler Paul Anderson and captures perfectly the mournful and eerie atmosphere of the forests and stone rings of North East Scotland. Peter Evans returns to play and direct Mozart’s D minor Piano Concerto (K.466), a work he first performed with the Orchestra in its inaugural year, 1972. The programme concludes with Beethoven’s buoyant 2nd Symphony.
