Percussionist Colin Currie is the soloist when the Scottish Chamber Orchestra returns to James MacMillan's percussion concerto Veni, Veni Emmanuel, a work which the orchestra commissioned and premiered in 1992. Conducted by John Storgards, they perform the concerto with music by Sibelius and Vaughan Williams in Edinburgh and Glasgow (10, 11 April). 

Later in the month violinist Nicola Benedetti and conductor Jeremie Rhorer (founder of the period instrument group Le Cercle de L'Harmonie) will be touring a programme of Mozart and Beethoven (23-26 April). Further information from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra website.
