Wagner’s Ring Symphony

Handel – Water Music Suite No3

Neil T Smith – Hidden Polyphony: Illuminating Scotland’s Lost Music

Wagner arr de Vlieger – The Ring, An Orchestral Adventure

Thomas Søndergård, Conductor

Anna Dennis, Soprano

Dunedin Consort

Wagner’s Ring cycle is an epic in every sense. The full experience takes four days, but this orchestral ‘adventure’ gives you a taste of The Ring – all its majesty, power and drama – in just over an hour! First, though, Scotland’s National Orchestra welcome their Partnership Ensemble, Dunedin Consort, for Handel’s enchanting Water Music before the Consort’s period instruments lock horns with the full RSNO, in a world premiere from Edinburgh composer Neil T Smith.

Dedicated to Dr Robert Lillie in recognition of his generous support of the RSNO Foundation.
