Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish SO lead a dramatic journey through the Bavarian mountains in Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony. There’s sonic spectacle and sensation from Mozart and Georg Friedrich Haas in works that manipulate both texture and space.

Born and educated in Edinburgh, Thea Musgrave celebrates her 90th birthday this May and the BBC SSO marks the occasion with a special event showcasing her work.
